Allan Dafoe
Allan Dafoe is a Canadian political scientist and an associate professor in the International Politics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the University of Oxford.[1] He is known mostly for his research on the governance of AI. Dafoe’s other research interests include the democratic peace, the role of honor and reputation in war, open research, and statistical methodology.[2]
Dafoe is the director of the Centre for the Governance of AI at the Future of Humanity Institute, at the University of Oxford.[3] The centre’s goal is to “help humanity capture the benefits and manage the risks of artificial intelligence”.[4] Dafoe is also a founding trustee of the Cooperative AI Foundation which seeks to “support research that will improve the cooperative intelligence of advanced AI systems for the benefit of all of humanity”.[5]
Work
Dafoe’s work on likely timelines for the development of artificial general intelligence[6] and Americans' perceptions of the governance of AI[7] has been discussed widely in popular media.[8][9][10][11] Dafoe has written several articles and opinion pieces, including about the role of women's suffrage on the likelihood of war,[12] privacy considerations around contact tracing apps,[13] the case for building cooperative AI,[14] and how to think about risks from artificial intelligence.[15] In his academic work, Dafoe has touched on the role of reputation and honor in conflict[16][17] technological determinism,[18] the democratic peace,[19] open science,[20] as well as strategy and policy related to the governance of AI.[21] His paper on the history of nuclear arms control was covered in the Financial Times.[22]
