Architecture Without an Architect? Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence in a Divided World

The global governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) faces significant challenges due to its rapid development, borderless nature, and the influence of powerful non-state actors. Current international responses are fragmented and non-binding, indicating a critical need to understand the capacities and incentives required to establish, enforce, and adapt effective AI governance structures. A new framework is proposed to address these issues through sociotechnical change and governance disruption.

The rapid and borderless advancement of AI, coupled with the influence of powerful non-state actors, necessitates a robust global governance framework. Without effective international rules and institutions, the unmanaged proliferation and development of AI could lead to significant global risks and instability, affecting various sectors and societal structures.

Artificial Intelligence poses unique and difficult challenges for global governance.
