Governing AI Before It’s Too Late

Governing AI Before It’s Too Late | GZERO Reports | GZERO Media

The explosion of generative AI we’ve seen since November 2022 has been a game changer in both technology and politics, capable of bringing enormous growth and productivity but also the potential for great peril. How can AI be regulated and governed before it’s too late? That’s the topic of a new collaboration between our own Ian Bremmer, founder and president of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, and Mustafa Suleyman, CEO and co-founder of Inflection AI.

Together they penned an article for the September issue of Foreign Affairs magazine which details a plan to create a global framework around fast-moving and evolving technologies. The two describe the need for 5 basic principles of governance, and new global organizations that can monitor and mitigate risk without stifling growth.

In this special report for GZERO Media, Bremmer and Suleyman join GZERO’s publisher Evan Solomon to take a deep and critical look at where AI is today, where it is going, and how to prevent it from becoming ungovernable.
