EA - International AI Institutions: a literature review of models, examples, and proposals by MMMaas
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: International AI Institutions: a literature review of models, examples, and proposals, published by MMMaas on September 27, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.The Legal Priorities Project has published a new report (link, PDF, SSRN) surveying models, different examples, and proposals for international institutions for AI governance.This literature review examines a range of institutional models that have been proposed over the year for the international governance of AI. The review specifically focuses on proposals that would involve the creation of new international institutions for AI. As such, it focuses on seven models for international AI institutions with distinct functions. These models are:Scientific consensus buildingPolitical consensus-building and norm-settingCoordination of policy and regulationEnforcement of standards or restrictionsStabilization and emergency responseInternational joint researchDistribution of benefits and accessPart I consists of the literature review. For each model, we provide (i) a description of each model's functions and types; (ii) the most common examples of each model; (iii) some under-explored examples that are not (often) mentioned in the AI governance literature but that show promise; (iv) a review of proposals for the application of that model to the international regulation of AI; and (v) critiques of the model both generally and in its potential application to AI.Part II briefly discusses some considerations for further research concerning the design of international institutions for AI, including the effectiveness of each model at accomplishing its aims; treaty-based regulatory frameworks; other institutional models not covered in this review; the compatibility of institutional functions; and institutional options to host a new international AI governance body.Overall, the review covers seven institutional models, as well as more than thirty-three commonly invoked examples of those models, twenty-two additional examples, and forty-seven proposals of new AI institutions based on those models. Table 1 summarizes these findings.Table 1: Overview of institutional models, examples, and proposed institutions surveyedModelScientific consensus- buildingPolitical consensus- building and norm-settingCoord. of policy and regulationEnforcement of standards or restrictionsStabilization and emergency responseIntern. joint researchDistribution of benefits and accessCommon examplesUnder- explored examplesProposed AI institutionsIPCCIPBESSAPCEPWMOIPAICommission on Frontier AIIntergovernmental Panel on Information TechnologyCOPs (e.g. UNFCCC COP)OECDG20G7ISOIECITUVarious soft law instrumentsLysøen DeclarationCodex Alimentarius CommissionBRICSIAIOEmerging Technology CoalitionIAAIData Governance StructureData Stewardship OrganizationInternational Academy for AI Law and RegulationWTOICAOIMOIAEAFATFUNEPILOUNESCOEMEPWorld BankIMFWSISAdvanced AI Governance OrganisationIAIOEU AI AgencyGAIAGenerative AI global governance bodyCoordinator and Catalyser of International AI LawIAEA (Department of Safeguards)Nuclear Suppliers GroupWassenaar ArrangementMissile Technology Control RegimeOpen Skies Consultative CommissionAtomic Development AuthorityOPCWBWC Implementation UnitIMOCITES SecretariatUN AI control agencyGlobal watchdog agencyInternational Enforcement AgencyEmerging Technologies TreatyIAIA (multiple)UN Framework Convention on AI (UNFCAI) & Protocol on AI, supported by Intergovernmental Panel on AI, AI GLobal Authority, and supervisory bodyAdvanced AI Governance OrganizationAIEA for SuperintelligenceNPT+Multilateral AI governance initiativeInternational AI Safety AgencyAdvanced AI chips registryCode of conduct for state behaviorAI CBMsOpen Skies for AIBilateral...
