Governing AI is about getting AI right. Building upon AI scholarship in science and technology studies, technology law, business ethics, and computer science, it documents potential risks and actual harms associated with AI, lists proposed solutions to AI-related problems around the world, and assesses their impact. The book presents a vast range of theoretical debates and empirical evidence to document how and how well technical solutions, business self-regulation, and legal regulation work. It is a call to think inside and outside the box. Technical solutions, business self-regulation, and especially legal regulation can mitigate and even eliminate some of the potential risks and actual harms arising from the development and use of AI. However, the long-term health of the relationship between technology and society depends on whether ordinary people are empowered to participate in making informed decisions to govern the future of technology – AI included.

Reviews for Governing AI: A Primer

'In this timely and indispensable guide, Onur Bakiner masterfully explains the complexities of AI governance, from technical fixes to legal regulation. But its true power lies in its urgent call for a radical democratic vision where empowered citizens, not just experts, shape the future of technology.' Paolo Benanti, Franciscan of the Third Order Regular – TOR, Professor, Pontifical Gregorian University
