Editorial summary
Oxford Internet Institute research programme (Oct 2021 to Oct 2026) focused on how AI intersects with governance — legislative responses like the EU AI Act, AI safety and security, regulation of surveillance and AI-enabled weapons, and how AI exacerbates discrimination and misinformation. Funded by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation.
Why this matters
The Oxford Internet Institute is one of the world's leading academic centres for studying how the internet and AI intersect with public life, and this five-year research programme focuses specifically on AI in government and policy. Its projects cover the EU AI Act, AI safety and security, the regulation of surveillance and AI-enabled weapons, and how AI can exacerbate discrimination and misinformation. Reading the programme page gives you a reliable map of the academic work that regulators quietly read before drafting the rules the rest of us will eventually follow, and it surfaces publications months before they show up in the general press.
