Welcome to “AI Policy Perspectives”
That painting is us at work. OK, maybe not.
Actually, we’re Conor Griffin & Tom Rachman from the Google DeepMind policy research team, but with contributors aplenty. We scour the world for incisive thinking and writing to help understand the AI frontier. And we publish one article ~ every week.
Here’s what subscribers will find in their inboxes (for free):
explanations of cutting-edge AI research, and why it matters
Q&As with canny thinkers
provocative pieces about managing the marvels and risks ahead
While we’re passionate about AI, we’re also passionate about human writing—this means that people write (not generate!) what we publish. Check out our rules on AI writing.
Some of our authors work at Google DeepMind; some work elsewhere. All articles are written in a personal capacity, and none of the views expressed are those of Google DeepMind or its affiliated bodies, unless clearly stated otherwise.
To share feedback, suggest ideas, or say hello to Conor or Tom, we’re at aipolicyperspectives@gmail.com.
