AI Preparedness Index (AIPI):  assesses the level of AI preparedness across 174 countries, based on a rich set of macro-structural indicators that cover the countries’ digital infrastructure, human capital and labor market policies, innovation and economic integration, and regulation and ethics. #IMF #Worldeconomics #globalbusiness #worldeconomy https://lnkd.in/ddrgmSCp

Nice feature of Ben Stein from Staple on the need for local communities to also be involved in AI development processes. "Promoting the safe use of AI in the business ecosystem, particularly in a diverse and rapidly growing region like Southeast Asia, involves a multifaceted approach. Governments in Southeast Asian (SEA) countries should develop clear and comprehensive regulatory frameworks that ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly, with an emphasis on data privacy, security, and consumer protection. Collaborations between governments, private companies, and academic institutions can lead to the development of safer AI applications. Such partnerships can facilitate knowledge sharing, develop best practices, and ensure alignment of AI advancements with public interests."

Thanks Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) for publishing my piece on AI in the Global South. 🎊 I argued that Policy makers and legislators must incorporate societal values and human rights into emerging AI tools. After all, this is by far the most important regulatory framework of the decade – and perhaps the century. Developed economies and multilateral institutions have a moral obligation to help Global South countries address their unique challenges and to avoid the risks of AI colonization, before it is too late.

The European Parliamentary has demonstrated commendable leadership by approving the Artificial Intelligence Regulation Act. This pivotal piece of legislation embodies a significant stride in administrating the usage of AI technologies, establishing robust and adaptable standards for nations globally to chart their course in this digital era. The Act is designed to catalyze innovation while ensuring inextricable alignment with ethics and human rights in the process of AI advancement. This commitment embodies the quintessential balanced strategy Europe is renowned for, harmonizing swift technological evolution with the preservation of individual freedoms and societal values and echoing an unwavering dedication to development cooperation. European Union member states stand today at the precipice of a future wherein artificial intelligence is purposed to serve humanity and not pose a risk. #EuropeanParliament #AIRegulationAct #EthicalAI #Innovation

🏢 What better place to discuss AI privacy and bias removal than at the Next AI offices, where PM Justin Trudeau and the Government of Canada announced a whopping $2.4 billion investment in AI? 🇨🇦🚀 🔐 It's essential that we prioritize user privacy in AI development. We must safeguard systems from using private user data in AI development, and protect data with the utmost diligence to prevent leaks and unauthorized extraction. 🛡️ 🌐 With AI, we have a golden opportunity to rebuild trust in our large institutions and corporations. By removing biases and enhancing fairness, AI systems can become more reliable and reflective of our diverse society. 🤖✨ From the talk organized by Fireraven and Zhen Chen, from paperminds IVADO SCALE AI | Canada's AI Global Innovation Cluster #AIethics #DataPrivacy #AIforGood #TechInnovation #Trust #Biases

How am I only now finding about this? The United Nations High-level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence (Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology ) released a report titled "Governing AI for Humanity" which is a super interesting read! United Nations Here are their policy recommendations: - An international scientifc panel on AI - Policy dialogue on AI governance with two meetings a year in Geneva and New York - AI standards exchange between developing and developed countries - Creation of an AI capacity development network - Creation of a global fund for AI to put a floor under the AI divide. - Creation of a global AI data framework And far more! Give it a read! #unitednations #techdevelopment #aigovernance #aidevelopment #ailaw #aiethics Link: https://lnkd.in/eMiANzG2

Building AI tech for everyone has to be an inclusive process, says Petri Myllymäki, who joined the United Nations #AIAdvisoryBody this past year. The final report says AI development must respect human rights and the concerns of the Global South. https://lnkd.in/db5Yd879 Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology #AIGovernance #artificialintelligence Helsinki Institute for Information Technology AI Finland ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems University of Helsinki Research Council of Finland | Suomen Akatemia

As the International Network of AI Safety Institutes convenes for the first time, the Open Technology Institute (OTI) at New America published a new report on artificial intelligence, urging the United States to encourage greater #openness in the #AI ecosystem. Kudos to co-authors Prem M. Trivedi and Nat Meysenburg. This approach to AI #governance would serve #democratic values and the public interest by strengthening the #security of AI models and systems, sparking #innovation, furthering #transparency and #accountability, and #democratizing technical education and research.

🌐 Exciting developments in the #AI realm 🚀 A groundbreaking collaboration took place as both #UK 🇬🇧 and #US 🇺🇸 inked the world's debut Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on artificial intelligence. This historic event unfolded in Washington on Monday, with UK science minister @michelledonelan and US commerce secretary @SecRaimondo at the helm. The strategic move sets the stage for overseeing the #ArtificialIntelligence domain, an ever-expanding sector hailed as “the defining technology of our generation”. This mutual agreement positions the allied nations as pioneers in exploring how to evaluate and diminish risks tied to the emergence of AI models. It marks a proactive stride towards promoting ethical AI advancements and shielding against potential hazards. #news #tech #technology #safety 🤖

Delighted to share my contribution to the #ResponsibleAI chapter of the prestigious #StanfordAIIndex publication. The section addresses AI's extensive role in essential industries like education, finance, and healthcare, emphasizing the need for ethical/responsible development and application. This chapter explores key trends in responsible AI by examining metrics, research, and benchmarks in four key responsible AI areas: privacy and data governance, transparency and explainability, security and safety, and fairness. Given that 4 billion people are expected to vote globally in 2024, this chapter also features a special section on AI and elections and more broadly explores the potential impact of AI on political processes. Anka Reuel it was a pleasure working with you.
