The AI governance gaps in developing countries

As developed countries rapidly become more equipped in the governance of safe and beneficial AI systems, developing countries are slackened off in the global AI race and standing at risk of extreme vulnerabilities. By examining not only “how we can effectively govern AI” but also “who has the power to govern AI”, this article will make a case against AI-accelerated forms of exploitation in low- and middle-income countries, highlight the need for AI governance in highly vulnerable countries, and propose ways to mitigate risks of AI-driven hegemons.
