Dr. Colin Shunryu Garvey, is a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University\u2019s Center for International Security and Cooperation<\/a> (CISAC) and at Stanford University\u2019s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI).<\/a> Trained in the interdisciplinary field of Science & Technology Studies (STS), his research examines technological risk governance through the lens of political decision theory, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a case study to understand how societies can more safely, fairly, and wisely steer controversial socio-technical systems. His view is that if we  are to avoid the potential downsides or calamities that AI has in store, we need to look at the problem with a fresh perspective but employ governance models developed for other potentially catastrophic technologies such as nuclear energy.  His perspective is informed by his rather unique background: he is also a Zen Buddhist monk. <\/p>\n
