You may be aware already, but in case not, UoCambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk has a core theme on AI. Looking (very briefly) at their blurb, I get the impression it’s not questioning whether promulgating AI or not is a good or bad thing, but more about how we best live with it…

Uni of Bristol also has a growing research theme in the broader area of digital development and social impacts: Digital Societies and Bristol Digital Futures Institute:

There are some good books on existential risk that rate Artificial Generalized Intelligence as high risk.

Dear colleagues
I wonder if others, like me, are considering how the recent developments in artificial intelligence might provide additional tools for use in Health Impact Assessment. As a very simple test of this, I entered a few questions into the latest AI chat bot. The apparent richness of the answers surprised me and I provide a screenshot.
Do others have experience?
