Assessing a Multistakeholder Governance Approach for AI Policymaking

Abstract

The multistakeholder model of Internet governance has proven to be the best mechanism for maintaining an open, resilient, and secure Internet because, among other things, it is informed by a broad foundation of interested parties – including businesses, technical experts, civil society, and governments – arriving at consensus through a bottom-up process regarding policies affecting the underlying functioning of the Internet domain system.This study reviews the development of this model, and considers whether and how it might be be adapted for global AI governance.
