Case studies on social-welfare-based standards in various industries

[Holden Karnofsky]

Last year, I posted a call for case studies on social-welfare-based standards for companies and products (including standards imposed by regulation). The goal was to gain general context on standards to inform work on possible standards and/​or regulation for AI.

This resulted^[1] in several dozen case studies that I found informative and helpful. I’ve been hoping to write up my reflections after reading them all, but it’s taken me long enough to get to this that for now I am just publishing a public Google sheet with links to all of the case studies that we have permission to share publicly (including some that already have public links). The link is here: https://​​docs.google.com/​​spreadsheets/​​d/​​18gaTIzdgMvKLq9Cp2-GJZZA7QmE93Frufh1UhNMcbpg/​​

   Most of the case studies this piece links to were directly paid for via this project, but in some cases the work was pro bono, or someone adapted or sent a copy of work that had been done for another project, etc.

Thanks for sharing this. FYI, the links to the ‘Nuclear Safety Standards’ and ‘Basel III’ case studies are not publicly accessible.

Thanks for pointing this out! Should be resolved now.
