KDDC 2EN20 - AI Safety and Global Governance

Artificial Intelligence holds enormous promise to improve human well-being, yet its rapid development also brings unprecedented risks, including the spread of disinformation, ethical dilemmas and implications for national and international security. Addressing these risks requires decisive leadership, robust ethical frameworks and global cooperation across public and private sectors.

The course “AI Safety and Global Governance” will explore how to advance responsible AI through international coordination and multi-stakeholder engagement. Participants will examine the role of global institutions, including the UN, OECD and EU, as well as the responsibilities of governments, businesses, and civil society to ensure that AI technologies serve the public good.

The course will also feature insights from high-level speakers from international organisations, research institutions and think tanks, providing practical perspectives on the latest developments in AI governance.

Keen interest in Artificial Intelligence and/or International Relations & Governance.
