join the recently formed Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative (AIG 
Oxford).

AIG Oxford seeks to improve the impact of AI on global societal outcomes

the governance of AI from both technical and policy perspectives.
The Initiative’s research addresses topics such as:

- Frontier AI Regulation: What form should it take — domestically and 
internationally?
- Technical Governance: What machine learning, computing hardware, and 
cryptographic approaches can facilitate governance including treaty 
compliance and regulatory oversight?
- International Governance: What international norms and institutions - 
standards setting, monitoring, collaborative research, arms control - 
can mitigate risks across jurisdictions?
- AI Auditing Regimes: How should model access decisions be made, and 
what institutions should make them?
- AI Industry Cooperation: How can AI firms cooperate for the public 
benefit?
