Executive summary: The paper argues that AI governance poses unique challenges due to rapid advances in capabilities, global power dynamics, and risks of misuse.
Key points:
AI systems are rapidly becoming more capable, often in unintended ways, making governance difficult.
Most advanced AI is developed by a few private companies and nations, limiting broader participation.
Misuse of AI could cause catastrophic harm on the scale of nuclear weapons or pandemics.
Despite consensus on principles, approaches to AI governance diverge between regions.
The UN can help foster collaboration and clarify emerging principles and human rights issues.
Recommendations include focusing on near-term capabilities, establishing governance institutions, providing guidance on key issues like transparency and open sourcing, and exploring oversight mechanisms like auditing and licensing.
