AI Governance Day - From Principles to Implementation

Appendix 3: Acknowledgments and sources

The ITU Secretariat would like to express its sincere gratitude to several experts whose
contributions have greatly contributed to AI Governance Day and its curation. A big thank
you goes to Robert Trager, Professor at the University of Oxford; Director, Oxford Martin AI
Governance Initiative; Senior Research Fellow, Blavatnik School of Government; International
Governance Lead, Centre for the Governance of AI, and Anka Reuel, Computer Science Ph.D.
student at Stanford University. They both agreed to moderate AI Governance Day. They
also pointed out relevant research papers, shared their unpublished research with us, and
made their network of experts available to us. Robert Trager has further provided practical
suggestions, generous advice, and expert guidance that has been paramount in the planning
of AI Governance Day.
We are also deeply appreciative of Sam Daws, Senior Advisor to the Oxford University Martin
School AI Governance Initiative, and Director of Multilateral.AI, and to Marta Ziosi, Postdoctoral
Researcher at the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, who compiled the examples of
multilateral and national AI initiatives listed in chapter 4.3.1.

We are very grateful to Lennart Heim, Lead on AI & Compute at RAND's Technology and
Security Policy Center researcher at RAND, and Mauricio Baker, Technology and Security Policy
Fellow at RAND, for their generous comments and explanations on compute governance and
the review of the vocabulary.

Last but not list we thank all the participants who made their way to Geneva for AI Governance
Day. We hope you found it a fruitful experience.

It goes without saying that there are lots of elves from the ITU Secretariat working in the
background to make this all happen – thank you all!
