Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already transforming our lives. As companies and states are increasing their investments in AI, both hopes and fears have come to the forefront. On one hand, AI could help us live longer, better, and more productive and creative lives. On the other hand, AI has also evoked concerns about profound risks to humanity, such as misinformation, inequality, and eroded social stability.
