AI governance research urged for foreign policy applications

A new paper argues that AI systems used in foreign policy, or 'statecraft,' should be a priority for AI governance research. The authors highlight that these high-consequence domains present unique evaluation challenges due to factors like partial observability, unbounded action spaces, and contested ground truth, which standard AI evaluation practices struggle to address. The paper proposes a research agenda focused on demand-side evaluation frameworks that break down foreign policy workflows into smaller, manageable sub-tasks for technical assessment. AI

IMPACT Highlights the urgent need for robust AI governance frameworks in high-stakes foreign policy applications.

    The Foreign Policy AI Evaluation Gap

    arXiv:2607.02955v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue that AI systems used in conducting foreign policy tasks - broadly enacting 'statecraft' - should be a priority test case for technical AI governance research. In enacting foreign policy, we refer to the formulation and im…
