Governing artificial intelligence

A chapter on the rise of AI in songwriting co-written with my former academic colleagues, Patrycja Rozbicka (Aston University), Simon Barber and Nicholas Gebhardt (Birmingham City University) has now been pubished as part of a wider collection exploring AI Governance. Here is the description from the publisher:

As ChatGPT noted, “AI has the potential to bring significant benefits to society, but it is crucial to manage its implementation and ensure that it is used in an ethical and responsible way”. Contributors to this e-book, edited by Laura Mahrenbach, discuss this tension, the technology and its governance, both here and in the future.

They illustrate the interaction of diverse issue areas (e.g., economy, environment, culture, etc.) and governance settings (e.g., national, regional, global). And show why exploring both the social implications and governance opportunities (domestic and international) afforded by AI is timely and necessary.
