Equitable Access to AI-Driven Prosperity: A Panel on AI & International Benefit-Sharing (Berkman Klein x AISST AI Governance Speaker Series)

Join the Berkman Klein Center and the AI Safety Student Team for a speaker series on AI governance! Snacks will be provided, RSVP here 🙂

About the Event

Artificial intelligence is poised to transform economies worldwide, from improving health outcomes to improving workplace productivity to accelerating scientific research. How can we make sure that these benefits are distributed across the world rather than concentrated disproportionately in high-income countries?

This panel will examine the emerging concept of international AI benefit-sharing in light of growing global calls to ensure more equitable access to the benefits of AI. We will explore the motivations for benefit-sharing, possible approaches to AI benefit sharing, and the potential challenges associated with the different approaches.

Free lunch will be provided. Speakers will join us remotely.
