Governance of Emerging Technologies

We're excited to announce the launch of the Governance of Emerging Technologies newsletter! Every two weeks, we'll send an email with five technology policy stories, engagement opportunities for researchers and updates on the programme. Sign up below! eepurl.com/ih597P

Hi! The Governance of Emerging Technologies Newsletter 44 is out! mailchi.mp/819440adda00/g… Each issue highlights five relevant stories in UK and EU technology policy, details engagement opportunities for researchers and offers updates on the research programme.

In time for today's vote on the #AIAct in the #EuropeanParliament I shared some thoughts on the proposed regulation with @APNews. Thanks for the chat @chanman! Link: apnews.com/article/tech-a… @oiioxford @UniofOxford @OxGovTech

Be sure not to miss @SandraWachter5's interview in @lafabricacoop on AI's impact on work! lafabricadigital.coop/chatgpt-apunta…

Really excited to be presenting @EUISoU Thursday, May 4, 2023 9:45 AM to 10:45 AM in Florence! Looking forward to discussing "Responsible Artificial Intelligence: Can Europe be a global leader?" stateoftheunion.eui.eu/programme/ @oiioxford @OxfordLawFac @BKCHarvard @JWI_Berlin

Fresh off the press! My OpEd @NatRevPhys w/@Abebab @Dr_Atoosa David Leslie @turinginst is now out. We discuss what LLMs mean for science, research & academic integrity. How - if at all - can we integrate LLMs safely into scientific practice? nature.com/articles/s4225… @oiioxford

My interview @techreview @JessHamzelou on AI in medicine. What does this mean for equal access to healthcare, patients' needs & autonomy & the medical profession? technologyreview.com/2023/04/21/107… @oiioxford @OxGovTech @BKCHarvard

We need responsible research & embed that thinking very early on. Companies should invite independent experts to hack & stress test their systems before rolling them out & just watching what happens. My interview @ScienceMagazine @llaurieclarke science.org/content/articl…

KI habe das Potential, die Menschheit zu zerstören, warnen Vordenker in einem offenen Brief. Andere, wie die Datenethikerin @SandraWachter5, meinen: Derlei Longtermism lenkt von den realen, schon heute existierenden Problemen rund um KI ab. derstandard.de/story/20001453…

While human oversight has become a key governance mechansism for #AI in the #AIAct, human overseers are still fallible actors. In my latest working paper, I therefore suggest six principles for institutionalising distrust in human oversight. bit.ly/DistrustHOV @oiioxford

Excited to be part of this cover story @derspiegel @PatrickBeuth on ChatGPT & its impact on education, fake news & journalism. How can we rethink information seeking & trust when new tech disrupts our ideas of knowledge & truth? instagram.com/p/Cpag2ORMmeU/… @OxGovTech @oiioxford
