With his Minerva Project, Distinguished University Professor J.P. Singh wants to understand “how preferences or interests from society, business, or other government actors shape policy in terms of what countries are doing with their national AI infrastructures.”

His new study shows that terrorists possibly could bring an end to all of humanity. Just another day’s work for policy fellow Zak Kallenborn.
