Global Forum Explores the Governance Pattern of Artificial Intelligence
2024-02-07
On February 5th local time, the second two-day Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Forum was held in Krani, Slovenia. This event is supported and sponsored by UNESCO and hosted by the Slovenian Ministry of Digital Transformation. The theme of this forum is "Changing the Governance Pattern of Artificial Intelligence", bringing together representatives from over 600 governments, international organizations, academic research institutions, non-governmental organizations, and enterprises from 67 countries to discuss important issues related to artificial intelligence, such as equality and diversity. On the 5th, UNESCO announced that eight global scientific and technological institutions and companies have signed an agreement related to artificial intelligence (AI) with UNESCO at this forum. According to relevant agreements, these institutions and companies will design and use AI systems in conjunction with the values and principles related to AI ethics in the UNESCO Recommendation on Ethical Issues in Artificial Intelligence. This is the first time a private enterprise has collaborated with the United Nations in the field of AI. The agreement stipulates that in order to comply with safety standards and identify the adverse effects of AI, due diligence must be conducted and timely measures must be taken to prevent, mitigate or correct these effects, making them comply with the laws of various countries. The protocol also emphasizes the importance of early testing. However, given the rapid development of existing AI systems in the market, the agreement also calls for the development of later risk assessment and risk control measures. These eight global technology institutions and companies are Global Society for Mobile Communications Systems (GSMA), INNIT, Lenovo, LG AI Research, Microsoft, Motorola, SF Express, and Telekom Spain. UNESCO Director General Azoule stated that multiple global technology companies have made specific commitments on relevant issues. She strongly calls on all technology stakeholders to follow their example, stating that this is crucial for building AI that promotes the public interest. In November 2021, UNESCO passed the Recommendation on Ethical Issues in Artificial Intelligence, marking its first global agreement on ethical issues in artificial intelligence. In the past two years, substantial progress has been made in the implementation of this framework. Nowadays, more than 50 countries actively participate, and related multilateral cooperation has significantly increased. Azuli emphasized at the opening ceremony of the forum that international cooperation has become more important in the new context of climate change and digital revolution. She said that in this AI revolution, everyone should actively participate and guide it to benefit humanity. As the host country, Slovenia's Minister of Digital Transformation, Duh, stated in his speech that ethical issues related to artificial intelligence are an extremely important topic. In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has caused many problems, and the focus of its development is to benefit people. Gabriela Ramos, Assistant Director General for Social and Humanities at UNESCO, stated in an interview that China has not only formulated a series of measures and laws to regulate artificial intelligence, but also actively participated in international actions to address the shortcomings of artificial intelligence technology and provide people with a better life.
