Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Janet Sawari, Founder & CEO, The AI Review, her thoughts on the future of AI.

As an expert in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

We need more research to be conducted to test out artificial general intelligence in different 'sandbox' like environments. We havent been succesful at encouraging the public sector to construct regulation for the technology thus it is also going to be informed by the activities and innovations that develop from the private sector, as a result there should be groups that also measure and track the different activities in the global AI ecosystem as a means to regulate and navigate threats. We have a few, i believe we need more.

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Chris Preuss, Principal Data Scientist, Calvin Risk, his thoughts on the future of AI.

As experts in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

While the ideation of ethical AI is a shared virtue worldwide, one of the greatest current issues is the gap between theoretical concepts and actualized implementation. Moreover, realizing the potential of responsible AI in enterprise—ultimately a value-adding factor to the firm itself—must be relayed to firms using AI in their workflow, a point not only of regulatory acceptance but of intrinsic benefit to the company’s lifecycle. 

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Silvio Dulinsky, Deputy Secretary-General, International Organization for Standardization, his thoughts on the future of AI.

Privacy and Respect: Respecting Ownership and Intent of Training Data

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Diederik Veelo and  Paul Sluimers, their thoughts on the future of AI.

As experts in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

Diederik & Paul: AI is transforming content creation and distribution in our industry. It enhances efficiency and creativity by automating parts of the process and enabling entirely new content possibilities. Although high-quality AI content is currently challenging to achieve, the future holds the promise of easier access, reshaping our industry and expanding storytelling possibilities.

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Matthew Blakemore, AI Strategist - Creative Industries, his thoughts on the future of AI.

As an expert in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

Addressing the ethical deployment of AI presents multifaceted challenges. Notably, the EU AI Act provides a framework by categorising AI risks. Key concerns include ensuring ethically sourced data, addressing biases, and maintaining transparency in AI operations. Additionally, data privacy, security, and ensuring a human-centric approach to decisions remain paramount. It's essential to foster a culture that encourages discussions around AI ethics and to continually intertwine our AI advancements with a commitment to uphold human values.

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Dr. Terry L. Janssen, QMI Founder, Quantum Technology, AI / Machine Learning & Engineering, The Quantum Science Organization, his thoughts on the future of AI.

As an expert in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

Best if we learn how to make AI monitor itself for detecting unethical/unresponsible behavior, and we oversee it.

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Phelim Bradley, Chief Executive Officer, Prolific, his thoughts on the future of AI.

As an expert in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

The people behind your data matter. We need to make sure that we have a diverse workforce providing the human intelligence that makes artificial intelligence better. It’s critical we make sure that people are representative of the population if we are to have accurate and unbiased AI. And also that we are protecting human dignity as we develop these tools. It’s important that we develop AI systems that augment people and don't replace them. The goal should be making humans more efficient or more productive. That’s key for developing a prosperous future.

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Cecilia Lascialfari, Italian Representative for Artivive, Expert Generalist, Creative Strategist Technologist, Founder of ARea6DoF , her thoughts on the future of AI.

As an expert in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

AI has come to the mainstream very fast. It is very easy to use tools that use AI. Social networks themselves have implemented AI. There are still many people who don't realize the privacy implications. I believe that the most difficult thing to do is to make the mainstream understand what Artificial Intelligence means.

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Andreas Hauser, CEO Digital Service at TÜV SÜD, his thoughts on the future of AI.

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

If I could harness AI to address any global challenge, I would focus on ensuring universal access to knowledge. I believe that well-informed societies make the most prudent decisions. By granting everyone access to knowledge, we can empower individuals and communities to effectively combat big challenges, such as climate change, safeguard the planet, and uphold human dignity as an untouchable principle. AI can play a crucial role in this endeavour because it can disseminate information widely. Nevertheless, any AI system must adhere to ethical standards to guarantee the responsible and equitable distribution of knowledge for the greater benefit of humanity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful and versatile technologies of our time, playing a crucial role in determining the future competitiveness of industries and organisations. While being an early adopter of AI is becoming increasingly important, organisations must also prioritise a proper implementation mitigating potential risks. 

“We must ensure that AI applications are safe, secure, reliable, and meet ethical principles,” said Dr. Andreas Hauser, CEO of Digital Service at TÜV SÜD. Not only for scalability but also for compliance reasons. The European Union (EU) will take a leading role here in regulating the ethical use of AI with the introduction of the AI Act, the first comprehensive law on AI by a major regulator. “Specific applications, such as mass surveillance or manipulative applications, will be simply forbidden,” Hauser added.
