A debate examining critical questions about AI development, governance, and societal impact with David Leslie, Professor, Queen Mary University of London; Director of Ethics and Responsible Innovation Research, The Alan Turing Institute.

Exploring how normative infrastructure—the systems and institutions that shape and enforce behavioral norms—can provide frameworks for governing AI systems in complex social environments.

Addressing the challenge of maintaining meaningful human control over advanced AI systems, exploring technical and governance approaches to ensuring AI remains safely interruptible and controllable.

Arguing that cooperative intelligence—not individual intelligence—is foundational for humans, and that building human-like AI requires reversing the standard model to put cooperation first, exploring what this insight means for the research agenda on cooperative AI.

Exploring the institutional and regulatory infrastructure needed to ensure AI is developed and deployed ethically, as part of a series of short talks about disruption hosted by the Rotman School of Management.
