   Adaptability is common: the OECD, the UN advisory body, Japan, Kenya, the African Union and the World Bank all expect governance to be agile or regularly revised. Acting before arrangements set is rarer. Dafoe urges embedding principles while the stakes are relatively low, and Ojanen et al. draw on Guston’s anticipatory governance (“while effective intervention is still possible”), but none of the definitions compared here builds that timing into the definition of AI governance itself. This is the clause in which AIGovSpec departs most from them.

   Where explicit definitions exist, most (nine of thirteen here) pair a set of instruments, such as rules, practices, processes or frameworks, with a purpose clause such as “to ensure” compliance, alignment or responsible use. They describe what governance is made of more often than what it acts on.
