Artificial Intelligence is an emerging technology which has a transformative potential in wide array of technological fields within the economic, industrial, social, political, intelligence and military domains. For this reason, the governance of AI technology development and implementation has also become a factor of concern not just among policy and decision-makers, but also among the public. With AI's potential impact on state power through its dual and strategic uses, the issue of AI governance is now firmly ensconced in global discourse and is a subdomain of cyber diplomacy. This article defines the main issues of AI governance, presents the emerging role of the EU as a normative power in this respect and also highlights the potential of transatlantic cooperation in the context of wider global rivalries in the technological field.
Space systems have become a key enabler for a wide variety of applications that are vital to the functioning of advanced societies. The trend is one of quantitative and qualitative increase of this dependence, so much so that space systems have been described as a new example of critical infrastructure. This article argues that the existence of critical space infrastructures implies the emergence of a new category of disasters related to disruption risks. We inventory those risks and make policy recommendations for what is, ultimately, a resilience governance issue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
