Paper of the Week: Issue Brief AI Governance at the Frontier Unpacking Foundational Assumptions (Center for Security and Emerging Technology, CSET)

Overview: "As artificial intelligence diffuses throughout society, policymakers are faced with the challenge of how best to govern the technology amid uncertainty over the future of AI development. To meet this challenge, many stakeholders have put forth various proposals aimed at shaping AI governance approaches. This report outlines an analytic approach to help policymakers make sense of such proposals and take steps to govern AI systems while preserving future decision-making flexibility.

"CSET's approach involves analyzing common assumptions across various proposals (as these assumptions are foundational elements for the success of multiple proposals), as well as unique assumptions across individual proposals, by answering three questions:

1. What risks are important to mitigate and who should have primary oversight of frontier AI?
 2. Who is delegated tasks and able to play a role?
 3. Would the proposed mechanisms or tools actually achieve the proposal’s objectives?
