Report: Politicians on AI Safety

Share

Politicians on AI Safety (PAIS) is a website that tracks U.S. political candidates’ stances on AI safety, categorizing their statements into three risk areas: AI ethics / mundane risks, geopolitical risks, and existential risks. PAIS is non-partisan and does not promote any particular policy agenda. The goal of PAIS is to help voters understand candidates’ positions on AI policy, thereby helping them cast informed votes and promoting transparency in AI-related policymaking. PAIS could also be helpful for AI researchers by providing an easily accessible record of politicians’ statements and actions regarding AI risks.

  1. I thought this project was topical given the upcoming election and the recent politicization of AI regulation and model deployment. I have seen this website before, however, so I am unsure if it is applicable for the purposes of this hackathon
