This white paper investigates practical remedies to increase voice in and access to AI governance and capabilities for the Global AI Majority, while addressing the security and commercial concerns of frontier AI states.

Several jurisdictions are starting to regulate frontier artificial intelligence (AI) systems, i.e. general-purpose AI systems that match or exceed the capabilities present in the most advanced systems. To reduce risks...

Current approaches to building general-purpose AI systems tend to produce systems with both beneficial and harmful capabilities. Further progress in AI development could lead to capabilities that pose extreme risks, such as...

A number of leading AI companies, including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, andAnthropic, have the stated goal of building artificial general intelligence (AGI)—AI systems that achieve or exceed human performance...

The development of privacy-enhancing technologies has made immense progress in reducing trade-offs between privacy and performance in data exchange and analysis. Similar tools could be useful for AI governance...

This paper outlines four different notions of “AI democratisation”, three of which are used almost synonymously with “increasing accessibility”. The democratisation of AI use and the democratisation of AI development are about...

Historically, progress in the field of cryptography has been enormously consequential. Over the past century, for instance, cryptographic discoveries have played a key role in a world war and made it possible to use the internet..

Governments around the world are busy talking about the critical next steps — how to keep people safe from the coronavirus as economies start to reopen. In the United States and in Europe, this involves officials looking at how...
