The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing and the MIT Washington Office are leading an effort to produce policy briefs with recommendations on the governance of AI. The goal of these briefs is to help shape a technically informed discussion of how to govern AI in a way that will make it safe while enabling AI to thrive.

We have produced a brief describing an overall governance framework for the U.S. and then more topical briefs that elaborate on specifics aspects of AI governance and impacts.
