Greetings from Seoul, where I’m representing IBM at the 2nd AI Safety Summit. Continuing the momentum from last year’s inaugural gathering in Bletchley Park, this year’s Summit is co-hosted by the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT, and aims to double down on progress to create and use AI safely and responsibly by governments and companies alike. Tomorrow, at the #AISeoulSummit I will share IBM’s point of view on why we believe an open approach to AI innovation is the best path forward to ensure safety and a healthy competitive landscape for companies of all sizes. An open innovation ecosystem – in which stakeholders recognize the value of community-built technology and the open exchange of information, ideas, and skills it cultivates – is the only way to grow AI responsibly.   IBM is proud to be a partner throughout this process and remains ready and committed to playing a pivotal role in bringing the power of responsible AI. Ultimately, effective regulation coupled with corporate accountability will allow businesses and society at large to reap the benefits of AI while addressing the potential for misuse and risk.

🤖The recent rise of generative artificial intelligence has spurred a heated debate on its potential for economic growth and on the risks of displacing workers. ⭐This column uses #US patent-level data over 1980-2019 and finds that the aggregate economy can benefit from AI-driven technological progress. 👉Historically, an increase in #AI innovation has boosted industrial production and compressed consumer prices by gradually raising total factor productivity. 💰AI innovation has also improved occupation and wages even in AI-exposed economic sectors, due to its overall expansionary effect. ⚖️Such type of development, however, can be accompanied by larger disparities in the distribution of wealth.

It's difficult to have a discussion on anything digital without mentioning AI nowadays. The technology is developing at rapid pace, and can be overwhelming at times (arguably most of the time). The potential is almost limitless, but its integration into public service delivery is still lacking. How do we purposefully introduce AI at scale into a complex government machinery? What are the "no regret" moves/decisions we can make today to make that leap? #transformation #bigfastresults

AI is reshaping the world faster than one might believe. From driving discussions on global standards to influencing daily activities through innovative applications, the momentum is unstoppable. A key highlight is the International AI Standards Summit led by ITU, ISO, and IEC, where they aim to set responsible, inclusive AI standards. These efforts pave the way for innovations that transition AI from broad principles into clear, practical solutions, impacting areas like healthcare, climate action, and road safety. Why does this matter? As Doreen Bogdan-Martin from ITU notes, building trust and a level playing field in AI innovation is crucial for everyone globally. The more we harmonize standards, the more we unlock AI's potential responsibly. So, how can you benefit? Start by aligning with these global standards in your projects, ensuring they're not only innovative but also ethically grounded. Consider joining initiatives like the Young AI Leaders Community to stay at the forefront of AI development. What's your take on the global drive towards cohesive AI standards? How do you see it impacting your work or industry?
