16-top-ai-firms-make-new-safety-commitments-at-seoul-summit

 
More than a dozen of the world’s leading artificial intelligence firms made fresh safety commitments at a global summit in Seoul on Tuesday, the British government said in a statement.
The agreement with 16 tech firms — which include ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic — builds on the consensus reached at the inaugural global AI safety summit at Bletchley Park in Britain last year.
“These commitments ensure the world’s leading AI companies will provide transparency and accountability on their plans to develop safe AI,” UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement released by Britain’s Department for
Science, Innovation and Technology.
Under the agreement, the AI firms that have not already shared how they assess the risks of their technology will publish those frameworks, according to the statement.
These will include what risks are “deemed intolerable” and what the firms will do to ensure that these thresholds are not crossed.
“In the most extreme circumstances, the companies have also committed to ‘not develop or deploy a model or system at all’ if mitigations cannot keep risks below the thresholds,” the statement added.
The definition of these thresholds will be decided ahead of the next AI summit, due to be hosted by France in 2025.
The firms that have agreed on the safety rules also include US tech titans Microsoft, Amazon, IBM and Instagram parent Meta; France’s Mistral AI; and Zhipu.ai from China.
In his opening remarks, South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol flagged “growing concerns over potential risks and negative impacts of AI, including fake news through deepfake and the digital divide.”
“Since the digital space is hyper-connected and transcends national borders, we need digital norms at the global level,” he added.
Danger of ‘deepfakes’
The stratospheric success of ChatGPT soon after its 2022 release sparked a gold rush in generative AI, with tech firms around the world pouring billions of dollars into developing their own models.
Generative AI models can generate text, photos, audio and even video from simple prompts, and its proponents have heralded them as a breakthrough that will improve lives and businesses around the world.
But critics, rights activists and governments have warned that they can be misused in a wide variety of situations, including the manipulation of voters through fake news stories or so-called “deepfake” pictures and videos of politicians.
Many have called for international standards to govern the development and use of AI, and have called for action at summits such as the two-day gathering in Seoul this week.
In addition to safety, the Seoul summit will discuss how governments can help spur innovation, including into AI research at universities.
Participants will also consider ways to ensure the technology is open to all and can aid in tackling issues such as climate change and poverty.
The Seoul summit comes days after OpenAI confirmed that it had disbanded a team devoted to mitigating the long-term dangers of advanced AI.
“The field of AI safety is quickly evolving and we are particularly glad to endorse the commitments’ emphasis on refining approaches alongside the science,” Anna Makanju, OpenAI’s vice president of global affairs, said in the statement announcing the new commitments on Tuesday.
The two-day summit will be partly virtual, with a mix of closed-door sessions and some open to the public in Seoul.

Navigate ethical and regulatory issues of using AI

Published

on

navigate-ethical-and-regulatory-issues-of-using-ai

 
It is a transformative era for businesses as technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), increasingly influence every industry, changing how companies operate, manage staffing, and serve customers. In the legal and risk sectors, the ethical and regulatory considerations of AI usage are becoming critical issues.
To assist industry teams in understanding when and how to use AI, addressing regulatory compliance, and more, the Thomson Reuters Future of Professionals report surveyed over 1,200 professionals in legal, risk, tax and accounting, compliance, and global trade fields.
Regulating AI
While the potential benefits of AI in business generate excitement, the focus on regulating AI is intensifying, with calls for businesses to implement usage, privacy, and communication policies. Many professionals worry that unmanaged AI could cause significant harm.
The Future of Professionals report reveals that 67% of surveyed professionals expect AI and Gen AI to profoundly impact their fields within the next five years. For instance, law firms are optimistic about AI’s productivity benefits, such as large-scale data analysis and performing nonbillable administrative tasks more accurately, allowing legal professionals to focus on billable work and recapture revenue lost to inefficiencies. Consequently, many firms and departments are already utilizing AI.
However, the need for regulation to ensure clarity, trust, and risk mitigation is evident. According to the report, 93% of professionals recognize the necessity for regulation, with concerns about AI accuracy and trustworthiness, especially when AI outputs are used as advice without human verification.
There is a growing demand for firms and in-house departments to create and enforce usage, privacy, and communication policies. Moreover, 53% of law firms and 43% of corporate legal departments believe industry-level regulations are necessary to govern the professional ethics of AI.
Regulatory activity is gaining momentum. For example, President Joe Biden’s executive order on October 30, 2023, titled “Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence,” aims to balance AI benefits with potential risks and outlines principles and guidelines for AI development and use in the United States.
For industry professionals, this executive order presents both opportunities and challenges, necessitating advising and representing clients on AI-related legal issues, such as ethics and compliance costs. Additionally, legal professionals will need to integrate AI systems into their own work, like research and analysis.
Several regulatory efforts are underway at federal, state, and international levels, including:

The proposed American Data Protection and Privacy Act at the federal level.
Legislation enacted in nearly a dozen U.S. states and pending in almost a dozen more.
The European Union’s proposed EU AI Act, aiming to provide a regulatory framework for global AI governance.

Navigating the Challenges of Using AI
Effectively managing AI use is a challenge for risk professionals, especially as AI regulations continue to evolve. Many believe AI can enhance productivity and internal efficiencies, but concerns about accuracy and data security remain.
According to the Thomson Reuters report, 66% of professionals believe AI will introduce new challenges, with 25% citing compromised accuracy and 15% data security as their biggest fears. Human intervention is crucial to verify AI outputs, particularly in sensitive or high-stakes matters.
“I believe AI may make people less inclined to be engaged and more reliant on imperfect systems,” warned one survey respondent. “This will require regulation and constant technological change to keep up with AI-related risks.”
Ethical Cases of Using AI
There are concerns that AI’s increasing integration into business might compromise ethics. According to the Thomson Reuters report, one of the top five fears is that AI will “push ethics out of the window.”
To address this concern, it is essential to ensure that AI-generated information and documents are appropriate, accurate, reliable, and ethically permissible. AI is best used to jumpstart processes or reduce time spent on mundane tasks, not as a sole provider of accurate answers or conclusions. Here are some use cases:

Jumpstart Research: AI can provide background information or updates on legislative developments and precedents, helping professionals make more informed, strategic decisions.
Speed Up Document Review: AI can automate document analysis tasks, leading to quicker response times.
Enhance Data Synthesis and Analysis: AI tools can help professionals sort files quickly, improve accuracy, and mitigate risk with expert human oversight.
Speed Up Client Communication: AI can perform preliminary tasks, allowing professionals to add experienced advice faster, meeting client expectations more efficiently.

Navigating the ethical and regulatory issues of AI is challenging as the technology and regulatory landscape evolves. For more insights, explore the Future of Professionals report.
