At the same time, it raises important policy, safety, and governance challenges that governments, technology companies, and other institutions must address. The Centre for the Governance of AI supports better decision making in this field by conducting policy relevant research and providing expert guidance on AI-related issues.
Through its fellowship and visiting scholar programs, GovAI helps develop the next generation of researchers and practitioners working in AI governance.
