Introducing Pax Machina: A New Publication on Institutions for Powerful AI
ryan_t_lowe · x · 2026-08-05
A new publication, Pax Machina, has launched, dedicated to exploring the new human institutions needed in a world with powerful AI.
The platform argues that while most attention is heavily focused on aligning or regulating AI, human institutions are often treated as fixed. Pax Machina aims to fill this gap by seeding rigorous debate about what a world of humans and powerful AI could and should look like. It plans to publish proposals and counter-proposals for new institutions, backed by an editorial board of prominent scholars in philosophy, AI ethics, and governance.
