Artificial intelligence (AI) is typically portrayed in two diametrically opposite ways; it is either the great hope for business technology, or AI is an existential threat to the way we live. As is often the case, the middle way is closer to the truth. Other than some mooted regulations from the European Union, AI, just like social media, is growing so rapidly that the technology industry itself will need to pioneer the ethical standards that enable AI but also protect civil liberties. With its research and development history, Intel has been one of the first big tech firms to define the foundations of ethical AI. Launched last month, the Intel Responsible AI charter sets out the chip giant's perspective on responsible AI and the four pillars the firm says the technology industry can use to ensure AI succeeds not only for technologists but also for wider society.

LG Energy Solution announced the launch of its Advisory Council on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Each advisory member will be assigned to a different division, and oversee the selection and execution of strategic assignments within their respective area of expertise.

As more companies explore the viability of adding artificial intelligence into their business processes, a new resource from CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry and workforce, offers guidance, answers questions and provides information to help in the decision-making process. "Artificial Intelligence in Business: Top Considerations Before Implementing AI" was produced by the CompTIA Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council, a group of thought leaders and innovators committed to accelerating the adoption of AI and machine learning technologies. "AI is already prevalent in many business processes and applications used daily, and there are almost limitless other opportunities where it can be utilized," said Annette Taber, senior vice president for industry outreach and relations at CompTIA. "However, AI processes are complex. The key to a successful deployment is asking the right questions and understanding what's involved before making any investments."

Mobility systems have been integrated for the past decade and continue to shape the user experiences in cars.

A member of Google's disbanded AI ethics council said on Wednesday that the company's enormous global influence means it needs to be treated like a world power. Joanna Bryson, an associate professor in computer science at the University of Bath, spoke about Google's short-lived AI ethics council at the CognitionX conference in London. She was joined by De Kai, a fellow former council member and AI expert at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The pair were speaking at a panel on governance and accountability in AI, and the moderator asked them to address the "elephant in the room." The Google council was disbanded in April after criticism of the appointment of Kay Coles James, the head of a right-wing thinktank who been accused of anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
