How Xi and Trump Could Rein In the A.I. Race

How Xi and Trump Could Rein In the A.I. Race (in Swedish, might be paywalled)

"We make two main arguments," writes one of the authors, Jonas Tallberg, a professor of political science at Stockholm University, in a LinkedIn post today:

• "AI governance is failing to keep pace with the AI race. Despite a proliferation of international initiatives, most remain non-binding and fragmented - while competition between firms and between the U.S. and China creates strong incentives to prioritize speed over safety."
• "There is a striking gap between current governance and public preferences. Our research across seven countries shows broad support for AI regulation, with citizens generally preferring safety over innovation, public regulation over corporate self-regulation, and international cooperation over purely national solutions."

The challenge, he adds, "is not to choose regulation over innovation, but to build rules that make continued innovation possible without sacrificing safety in the race for AI leadership."

The authors are Jonas Tallberg, a professor and co-director of the Stockholm Center on Global Governance based at Stockholm University; Magnus Lundgren, an associate professor at the University of Gothenburg; and Johannes Geith, a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
