The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World, Anu Bradford(2020)
On how EU regulations sometimes become international standards (which makes them relevant to US/China-based AI developers)
Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War, Paul Scharre (2018)
On what factors influence whether/how new weapons are deployed in war (which seems relevant to how/when/which military decisions will be delegated to AI systems—delegations which maypose significant long-term risks)
The course recommended the introduction, Part VI, and chapters 3, 16, and 18
Also:
These histories of institutional disasters and near-disasters
(Btw, if anyone else is interested in “These histories of institutional disasters and near-disasters”, you can find them in footnote 1 of the linked post.)
Thanks! In addition to the books in your authoritarianism reading list, I’d suggest two from this (partly long-term-oriented) course on AI governance:
The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World, Anu Bradford (2020)

In case anyone was wondering, Army of None seems to be available on US Audible and on Audiobooks.co.uk.
