Many social science and information research experts believe platform governance has important lessons for how and which artificial intelligence (AI) use cases should be regulated in the short to long term. However, the literature on this topic is fragmented and limited to a handful of trust and safety areas such as child pornography.
This workshop, hosted by Sabhanaz Rashid Diya, will focus on two key consensus-building outcomes: key principles for global AI governance and lessons from the social media era that inform the formulation of these governance principles.
The workshop’s insights, coupled with a literature review, will form the basis of a future paper. The paper will draw a more holistic parallel between governing social media platforms and AI models, identify key lessons for future regulation, and provide a principle-based and rights-respecting “minimum viable framework” for global AI governance.
