AI, Ethics and Global Governance: Reigning in Technology or Ethics-Washing

AI, Ethics and Global Governance: Reigning in Technology or Ethics-Washing
-

This is a past event

AI ethics initiatives and statements are currently proliferating around the world, from both public agencies and private companies, and also via multistakeholder initiatives. This presentation gives an overview of how the 'big jurisdictions' and geopolitical actors, namely the EU, US, China and India, are or are not addressing this topic. Is a global consensus emerging around AI governance and ethics? Or will we see fragmentation and a ‘might is right’ approach? Also are the Big Jurisdictions engaging in an exercise of ‘ethics washing’ by setting non-binding standards which diverge from these governments’ actual practices? These Big Jurisdictions’ approaches to the regulation and governance of other predecessor digital technologies will also be considered to give a longer view of digital technology governance and regulation in an increasingly multipolar world.
