AI Risk Mitigation Through Democratic Governance Introducing the 7-Dimensional AI Risk Horizon

My dissertation asks two fundamental questions: What are the risks of AI? And what should be done about them? My research goes beyond existential threats to humanity to consider seven dimensions of AI risk: military, political, economic, social, environmental, psychophysiological, and spiritual. I examine extant AI risk mitigation strategies and, finding them insufficient, use a democratic governance framework to propose alternatives. This paper outlines the project and introduces the risk dimensions.
