AI governance and policy (Article)


Listen Later

Today’s release is a reading of our career review of AI governance and policy, written and narrated by Cody Fenwick.

Advanced AI systems could have massive impacts on humanity and potentially pose global catastrophic risks, and there are opportunities in the broad field of AI governance to positively shape how society responds to and prepares for the challenges posed by the technology.

Given the high stakes, pursuing this career path could be many people’s highest-impact option. But they should be very careful not to accidentally exacerbate the threats rather than mitigate them.

If you want to check out the links, footnotes and figures in today’s article, you can find those here.

Editing and audio proofing: Ben Cordell and Simon Monsour
Narration: Cody Fenwick
