MIT AI Policy Congress Convenes to Discuss AI and Ethics - FindBiometrics

#artificialintelligence

The inaugural MIT AI Policy Congress recently convened in Massachusetts, bringing together leading researchers, industry insiders, and policy experts for a series of discussions about the future of artificial intelligence. Hosted by MIT's Internet Policy Research Initiative (IPRI) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the conversation stressed the importance of collaboration and ethical behavior in the developing field. The key takeaway is that businesses, governments, and private citizens will need to work together to craft sensible regulations around the use of AI. "The right interaction between computer science, government, and society at large will help shape the development of new technology to address society's needs," said Daniel Weitzner, the founding director of IPRI. "There is simply too much at stake for all of us not to have a say," added R. David Edelman, IPRI's Director of the Project on Technology, the Economy, and National Security. The trouble, of course, is that different fields will incorporate AI in different ways, each of which will require different policy solutions.
