Cognizant BrandVoice: Ethics By Design: Steps To Prepare For AI Rules Changes

The EU's AI Act promises to mitigate the harmful use of machine intelligence but will require deeper education and evangelization to ensure more transparent and ethical use of AI, notes Ursula Morgenstern, Cognizant's President of Global Growth Markets. With new regulations proposed, AI ethics -- like data privacy -- has become a top priority for companies. As heads of state from European Union member nations begin to take up discussion of the EU's proposed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act, companies are exploring what it will take to adhere to one of the first major policy initiatives focused on harmful AI. The answer is clear: Compliance will require business to educate and evangelize across their organizations. While it will likely take two years for these new rules to come into effect, it's not too soon to begin preparing.
