As a research area as well as an area of policy action, long-term safe and robust AI governance remains a neglected mission,” she said.Additionally, Leung noted that, at this juncture, although some concrete research is already underway, a lot of the work is focused on framing issues related to AI governance and, in so doing, revealing the various avenues in need of research.
