The Governance of Artificial Intelligence provides an essential approach to AI governance, including proactive and comprehensive strategies that efficiently balance innovation and ethical concerns. The book prioritizes social welfare and upholds human rights by maximizing the benefits of AI while reducing its negative aspects. Sections address the principles that govern artificial intelligence, data-related topics, AI algorithms, the issue of computing, applications, and AI governance. Throughout each section, the idea that it is essential to implement a versatile governance structure that incorporates several fields of study and encourages diversity is reinforced. Additionally, utilizing existing regulatory frameworks, ethical standards, and industry benchmarks is essential.

Moreover, the book maintains that it is crucial to integrate cooperation between governments, economic organizations, civil society, and the academic community under a multi-stakeholder framework to promote transparency, accountability, and public trust in AI systems. Because of the fast pace of technological progress, the opaqueness of AI algorithms, worries about bias and impartiality, the requirement for accountability in AI-based decisions, and the global nature of AI development and deployment, it is imperative to cultivate global cooperation in regulating AI as its impacts extend beyond national boundaries. AI governance involves establishing worldwide norms and standards that encourage coordinating governance efforts while recognizing cultural and geographical differences.
