A new project aims to map the AI policy ecosystem

marketplace.org · · International · AI Governance

A new project is working to chart the landscape of AI policy, cataloguing the organizations, initiatives, and actors shaping how artificial intelligence gets governed. The effort appears aimed at making the AI policy world more legible to researchers, advocates, and professionals trying to follow who is doing what.

A map of who is involved and what they are pushing could help advocates, journalists, and the public hold the right people accountable instead of just watching a fog of acronyms. The value depends entirely on whether the project is independent and honest about who funds the players it is mapping.

Andrew, who was sitting fourth on a waitlist for a class later that week, asked if it was possible to move him to the top of the list. The agent came back and told Andrew that it had kicked another gym-goer off the list as part of the testing…
