Collection of work on ‘Should you focus on the EU if you’re interested in AI governance for longtermist/x-risk reasons?’
This is a quickly made, low-effort post, but I’m hoping it’ll be useful to some people anyway. Please let me know if you know of things I missed.[1] I list things in order of recency, and I’m including some things that aren’t primarily about the question in the title but are still quite relevant to it.

There may be some posts I missed with the European Union tag.
There are also posts with that tag that aren’t about AI governance but which address a similar question for other cause areas and so might have some applicable insights.
There are also presumably relevant things I missed that aren’t on the Forum, including things that don’t focus on longtermism/x-risks but still make relevant arguments about whether to focus on AI policy in the EU vs elsewhere.

Classic Aird: great collection of links to useful resources. Thanks mate. Looking forward to meta-Aird: a collection of links to the best of Aird’s collection of links.
Thanks for the collection! (Note there is a typo in the title “Should you should focus on the EU if you’re interested in AI governance for longtermist/x-risk reasons?’”)
Oh wow, thanks for flagging that, fixed! Amazing that a whole extra word in the title itself survived a whole year, and survived me copy-pasting the title in various other places too 😬
