In this talk, Lennart Heim (researcher at Centre for the Governance of AI) presents the idea of using computational resources (short compute) as a node for AI governance. First, he will start by talking about recent events in compute and AI and how they relate to compute governance. He will then discuss the unique properties and state of compute affairs that make it a particularly governable node for AI governance and how this relates to the compute supply chain and other concepts. Subsequently, he will explore the idea of hardware-enabled mechanisms and how they can be used for providing assurances and other AI governance goals. Lastly, he will present the policy work of Centre for the Governance of AI and close with a summary.

The actual presentation itself including Q&A will take about 45 minutes. However, we would be delighted if you stayed longer and continued the discussion over snacks and drinks afterwards.The schedule is as follows:

Monday, June 26th
