How can we enhance the privacy, security and ethics of Artificial Intelligence? - ITU News

Twenty years ago, Artificial Intelligence (AI) made headlines when IBM's Deep Blue won a prized chess match against the world's leading (human) chess player, Garry Kasparov. And notably last year, Google's AI beat the top player at the complex game of Go. In the two decades between those two victories, AI has come a long way from the basements and back rooms of Computer Science departments to the forefront of global discussions at the United Nations, such as this week's AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland. Indeed, AI is now poised to impact nearly every area of society. But as we prepare to reap the massive benefits of this "Golden Age" of AI in which 62% of organizations will be using AI technologies, experts have warned that it is critical that privacy, security, and ethical questions are brought to the forefront.
