New Zealand to Set Ethical Artificial Intelligence Strategy

New Zealand is developing an approach to supporting the ethical adoption of AI -- one that is focused on building an AI ecosystem on a foundation of trust, equity and accessibility right from the onset. A crucial part of this approach is to involve key stakeholders in the planning. And that is exactly the reason why the government has designed the system so every New Zealander and every technology expert who matters can contribute. The success of this ITP requires us to form a consensus view on the scope of our ambition and how this can be achieved with actions and initiatives that are sufficiently realistic to bring about meaningful change – both short and longer-term. Wellington published a draft that should jumpstart its pursuit of an ethical AI ecosystem: the Industry Transformation Plan (ITP) which covers its overall digital transformation road map.
