SAILS x GTGC: rise of AI and challenges for governance
Students and researches from all faculties at Leiden University attended a lunch seminar to discuss with four topic experts the rise of AI and the challenges this poses for various governance structures. The event was hosted by Leiden University’s interdisciplinary programmes GTGC and SAILS.
In an increasingly interconnected world, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) brings about profound challenges to global governance. While AI technologies are transforming personal lives and societies with unprecedented convenience and opportunities, its rapid development also challenges existing governance structures in many areas such as ethical, legal, geopolitical, and societal.
