Global landmark event on Ethics and Governance of AI. AI is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate information, analyse data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision makingβand is already transforming every walk of life.
Artificial Intelligence is also raising important questions for society, industry, commerce and economy, moral ethics and governance. As computational resources, algorithms, design and engineering grow in complexity and range, it is important to anticipate, investigate, and to the extent possible, design and evaluate, how AI can be best deployed for good, aligned, and in harmony with human intelligence and ethical norms in the face of complex and demanding situations.
However, alongside the growing interest in exploiting the potential for AI, there are also concerns, among others, about its possible unethical use, for example, in collecting data or its usage in decision making which is contrary to the human values and rights. It also mentions about remediation and regulatory measures to make AI: applications safe, secure and contributing towards better life of mankind.
Its experts suggest that these models be programmed with consideration for widely accepted human norms and rules for behavior. AI algorithms need to take into account the importance of these norms, how norm conflict can be resolved, and ways these systems can be transparent about norm resolution. When failures occur, there must be mitigation mechanisms to deal with the consequences. In particular, AI must be sensitive to problems such as bias, discrimination, and fairness.
To discuss the emerging issues and challenges in applications of AI systems, specially related to ethics and governance of such systems, a landmark global event is being organised by a group of concerned think tanks and non profit organisations in India.
