A group of AI researchers including Ryan Lowe and Klinge have announced the launch of a new publication called Pax Machina.
- Core Focus: Exploring "AGI Institutions"—institutional designs for an era of powerful AI. The founders argue that ensuring a good AI future requires improving human institutions, not just aligning models.
- Motivation: Current discussions on this topic are either buried in niche academic fields or overly vague. The platform aims to foster rigorous debate on what institutions should and could look like in a world with advanced AI.
- Call for Papers: The initiative has assembled an editorial team and board, and is actively soliciting article submissions from the community.
