Marloes Pomp, ELSA Labs, NL AI Coalition will be moderating a Panel Discussion at World Summit AI 2022, Amsterdam Noord taking place on 12th and 13th October 2022 at the Taets Art and Event Park.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be?

Given the current situation my main interest is on solving climate issues and building a safe, sovereign and democratic Europe for the future.

What do you think are the 3 most important things for business in relation to AI at the moment?

At the moment it is unclear what AI-based systems are acceptable from the ethical, legal and social points of view and where the limits are. It is also still unclear what conditions/circumstances these systems would become acceptable under. This can lead to excess use of AI (for example using too many systems in too many situations, without keeping the possible consequences in mind) and/or not enough use (for example not using AI due to insufficient knowledge or fear of the consequences) . Both excess use and insufficient use of AI technology can have unknown consequences in every domain when protecting the freedom and safety our planet and society.
