Artificial Intelligence: The challenges of regulation and ethics
Artificial intelligence (AI) arouses both fascination and concern. As technological progress in this area continues to accelerate, many countries are seeking to better regulate the use of this technology. This is the case in the United States, where President Joe Biden recently signed an executive order aimed at strengthening security and confidence in the use of AI.
This decree requires companies in the sector to transmit the results of their security tests to the federal government when their projects present a serious risk to national security, economic security or public health. It also aims to promote fairness by avoiding discriminatory biases in AI.
However, this decree is only a first step, as more restrictive regulations require the adoption of a law by the US Congress, which promises to be difficult given the current political divisions. However, Joe Biden strongly calls on parliamentarians to legislate to protect the privacy of citizens and prevent the abusive exploitation of personal data.
Meanwhile, the UK is hosting an international summit on AI risks. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wants to make the country a European leader in financing new technologies. He is aware of the importance of regulating AI to avoid slippage and encourages the establishment of an international body similar to the IPCC to assess the risks linked to AI.
The summit, taking place at the famous Bletchley Park mansion, where secret codes were deciphered during World War II, brings together international leaders to discuss the challenges of AI. The objective is to find common solutions to regulate this technology and guarantee ethical and transparent use of AI.
In conclusion, the regulation and ethics of artificial intelligence are major issues of our time. As debates over AI regulation continue in many countries, it is essential to strike a balance between technological innovation and the protection of individuals’ rights and privacy. Only a collective and international approach will make it possible to effectively address these challenges and guarantee the responsible development of AI.
