How we all could have a say on AI Governance

AI experts say that we humans need to agree on AI governance. The voting mechanisms I described could help.

Sam Altman — CEO of OpenAI — stated that we humans need to agree on the following issues re. AI governance:

• How AI access is distributed

• What sets of values should AIs have

• What should they do, what not

Also, Demis Hassabis — CEO of DeepMind — said the following in Lex Fridman's podcast:

AI is not going to be run by one person or one organisation. It should belong to the world, belong to humanity and ... everyone should have a say.

This made me think: Could the voting mechanisms I described be useful for gathering the views of most humans? Users could vote and delegate their vote to a list of delegates.

Also, besides voting & delegating, the platform could gather the statements of public figures like my old side-project Agreelist did. This way, you could delegate your vote to Greta Thunberg, Bill Gates or The Pope even before they participate on the platform. They only need to have expressed their views on Twitter, in newspapers, etc.

This might be part of a voting social network where people also discuss and vote on many other topics. Or it could be focused on AI governance — at least initially.
