Addressing Generative AI in Technology Assessment and Scientific Policy Advice: International Perspectives

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked both fascination and concern also in scientific policy advice. The poster 'Addressing Generative AI in Technology Assessment and Scientific Policy Advice: International Perspectives' highlights the views of technology assessment (TA) institutions in the USA (U.S. Government Accountability Office), the UK (Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology and The Autonomy Institute), Finland (Committee for the Future in the Finnish Parliament) and Norway (Norwegian Board of Technology) on how recent advances in generative AI influence scientific policy advice. The study explores how TA institutions with an advisory mandate and a problem-oriented research approach respond to the emergence of generative AI and its role for their own knowledge production.
