I like how this broadly capture the tech and policy aspect. Especially, that majority of the masses are "unaware" about the true extent of the AI they use, and how some governments are yet to even discuss the development and usage of AI in their country.

Interesting article. I am surprised by the omission of “human rights” though. I understand “Atlas does not cover every AI policy topic” but HRs are foundational for AI policy…

Thanks Merve! Yes, indeed - it's designed to be illustrative vs comprehensive, but HR could certainly be there. Quick thought: one challenge is to what extent should we view HR as a standalone area of risk/benefit of AI, a governance mechanism, or a component of many different topics - privacy, fairness, bias and discrimination, perhaps even access to technology (at some point) etc.

I would argue HR as a main pillar - Risk / Benefit / Rights -based approaches.

Under it is the HR & civil rights regulations and protections; under which you would have right to privacy, non-discrimination, as well as right to access to information and right to science etc.

Would be more than happy to connect offline and discuss further if you like.
