Debrief Features | Duke Journal Research

Grateful to Chrissy Newton for featuring my article on AI governance, recently published by the Duke Law and Technology Review, in her excellent article in The Debrief. As I noted in a follow-up interview with Chrissy, the opacity of AI-driven content and limited regulatory oversight make it feasible for governments and tech companies to coordinate in influencing societal norms over time. Ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical AI governance could safeguard against such risks.
