Artificial Intelligence
is converging with humanity.
AI is innovating beyond a single technology.
It will emerge and evolve as a new ecosystem
where the convergence
of algorithms, computational power, data, and humans
create
an intelligence
that evokes a new world.
Some AI encounters will be obvious.
Others will be nuanced.
The future possibilities are endless both in what AI can do and what we can do as humans.
What future do we want to create?
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or computer system to recognize patterns, understand language, solve problems, and learn from experience.
Responsible AI
Any great technology product development is built on a strong foundation of compelling design principles, robust engineering processes, and foundational research. How do we ensure that fairness, transparency, safety, security, interpretability, privacy, reliability and accountability are by design?
We can look to the methodologies, requirements, standards, and test requirements of other products developed that must meet similar standards. AI regulation and governance frameworks are emerging, but in the meantime developers and those who deploy AI systems can take a proactive approach and adopt a Responsible AI mindset that is reinforced and reflected in every step and decision taken.
Corporate cultures, team cultures, engineering judgements can rely on strong ethics programs, awareness, sensitivity, and training. Human-centered design is a pathway that can guide AI development.
Responsible AI by design isn't an option. It is the centerpiece.
AI Ethics
Ethical questions are foundational to our human experience. Human conduct and actions are universally considered within the context of ethics. Ethics vary between cultures, societies, individuals, and times.
AI Ethics is a global conversation. Where will it take us?
AI Governance
What is AI governance? That is time critical question.
What AI future do we want to create?
What are the rules?
What is the oversight?
What is the incentive?
What is the enforcement?
How will AI be governed across a diversity of cultures, political structures, technologies, applications, customers, users, cultures, and all other variables known and unknown at this time?
AI Safety
In order to truly harness the positive potential of AI, safety is critical to protect individuals, organizations, communities, and the planet from harm. In order to mitigate risks, we must work together to enhance and build AI safety into all applications, while preventing bad actors from inflicting harm.
