Governing AI in a Free Society

Overview

The firing and rehiring of CEO Sam Altman at OpenAI in the fall of 2023 kickstarted a new phase in the conversation about the governance of artificial intelligence (AI). Some who previously believed that corporations could self-regulate have changed their minds, calling for more direct government regulation of the AI industry. However, regulation comes with the potential for politicization, bureaucracy, and deadweight losses for innovation.

At a 2024 conference hosted by the Internet Governance Project at Georgia Tech, scholars explored alternatives to government regulation. Government, after all, is not the only source of governance. In November, IHS sponsored a workshop for scholars looking to polish their ideas about spontaneous and emergent order in AI governance. 

This February, in partnership with Milton Mueller and Karim Farhat from the Internet Governance Project, IHS will be running a follow-up workshop. Proposals and papers in any stage of development are welcomed and workshopped papers will be considered for inclusion in a special issue of an academic journal.

This event will take place on February 13 from 4:30 to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and will be hosted via Zoom.
