AI: the digital mirror

A new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) requires a new generation of policy-orientated research. While research agendas continue to tackle the thorny problems of previous-generation AI, recent advances in generative AI raise a new cohort of questions, ranging from the pragmatic to the philosophical. The HSRC's Dr Michael Gastrow reflects on the research agenda created by this new wave of AI.

Abstract

A new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) requires a new generation of policy-orientated research. While research agendas continue to tackle the thorny problems of previous-generation AI, recent advances in generative AI raise a new cohort of questions, ranging from the pragmatic to the philosophical. The HSRC's Dr Michael Gastrow reflects on the research agenda created by this new wave of AI.
