🇨🇭How Switzerland can take the lead in responsible AI development?🧠🗻 “We are undoubtedly in an era of radical innovation and change and there is a mounting need for AI’s fast and effective governance.” — Alois Zwinggi - Managing Director, World Economic Forum Here is how and why: 🗻 Artificial intelligence is in increasing need of good governance and Switzerland occupies a unique position to play a global role in responsible AI deployment. 🇨🇭Several initiatives helmed by the Swiss government bring academia, policymakers and the private sector together to seek practical and swift solutions to AI-related risks. Switzerland has been the home of many early AI developments like Mindfire and spearheaded governance efforts, it also brings growing public-private collaboration and many years of culture of cooperation. https://lnkd.in/ebN2e2tm

Excited to announce that I'll be heading to Georgia this week to speak at DataFest Tbilisi! Join me for a keynote on "Government Innovation in the time of AI" where I'll dive into the incredible opportunities AI brings to the world of governance. 🤖🏛️ In this era of technological advancement, it's crucial to ensure that AI is deployed in alignment with our core values and principles, with robust safeguards in place. For us at Independent Diplomat, it's also important to consider the implications on international relations. How do we work together to ensure that Frontier AI is developed safely? How do we ensure that the richest few do not set the course on future policy alone? How do we make sure communities across the world do not get left catastrophically behind and not be forced to deal with the effects without appropriate resources? See you there! 👋 #DataFestTbilisi #AI #GovernmentInnovation #EthicalAI #SafeguardingValues

A systematic comparison of AI rules across the globe. Critically, the growing pace of AI regulation demands international coordination. Digital Policy Alert finds that AI rules diverge on three layers. 🔰 governments prioritise the OECD AI Principles differently, focusing mainly on accountability and fairness. 🔰 when implementing the same OECD AI Principle, governments employ different regulatory requirements, creating a regulatory patchwork. 🔰 even when governments use the same regulatory requirement to implement the same OECD AI Principle, granular differences create hurdles to interoperability. Divergence presents an opportunity for governments. Building on shared goals, governments can learn from each other and develop effective AI regulation. #ai #artificialintelligence #generativeai #airegulation #aipolicy #airisks #aigovernance #digitaldisruption #digitaltransformation Paidi O Reilly Prof. Dr. Ingrid Vasiliu-Feltes Martin Moeller Aaron Lax Richard Turrin Sally Eaves Imtiaz Adam Irene Lyakovetsky🎧🎙 Dinis Guarda Antonio Grasso Dr. Martha Boeckenfeld Ian Jones Nicolas Babin Mike Flache Olivier Gomez (𝐎𝐆) Giuliano Liguori Dr. Marcell Vollmer Birgul COTELLI, Ph.

This initiative definitely rates for The Futurum Group's #AdultintheAIRumpusRoom status: UK-based AI Standards Hub is federating, promoting collaboration on AI standards globally across multiple standards groups. To note: "A rapidly growing range of AI-related work is underway across an increasing number of Standards Development Organisations (SDOs) around the world. Against this background, the AI Standards Hub aims to help stakeholders navigate and actively participate in international AI standardisation efforts and to inform the direction of these efforts." In pursuing its mission, the AI Standards Hub will: adopt a global perspective and engage with relevant initiatives around the world to promote coordination and coherence at the international level, emphasise stakeholder inclusiveness and give special consideration to stakeholder segments that are traditionally underrepresented in standards development processes (including civil society organisations and SMEs), promote interdisciplinarity to ensure that AI standardisation efforts benefit from all relevant forms of technical and non-technical expertise and incorporate considerations of ethics to realise socially beneficial innovation.

The Next Generation EU recovery instrument, and in particular the Recovery and Resilience Facility (#RRF), with its target to dedicate at least 20 % of funding to the #digitalobjectives, might contribute significantly to one of EU's core priorities, the #digitaltransformation. A number of reports acknowledge the RRF as a primary contributor to most of the #DigitalDecade targets, namely the digital transformation of businesses and public services, as well as building digital skills and infrastructure across the EU. This briefing aims to give a flavour of what Member States' national recovery and resilience plans (#NRRPs) bring to boost investment and innovation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in particular.

Africa is paving the way for a brighter digital future with the announcement of a continent-wide AI policy by the African Union. This marks a significant step towards blending technological advancement with sustainable growth, ensuring that AI benefits are maximized while addressing infrastructural and regulatory challenges. Africa's commitment to AI innovation is reinforced with this announcement. #AI #AIRegulation #AfricaTech #InnovationPolicy

❓How will #AI_ACT emerge and affect the industrial sector? ❓ The EU's #AI_ACT represents a major regulatory shift in the use and development of AI technologies in Europe. This section will explore the potential impact of the #AI_ACT on various industries in the EU. We will discuss the key provisions of #AI_ACT, and how industries and policymakers can prepare for the regulatory changes ahead. 👉 Our panel of international experts Alexandros Spyridonos, Marc-Antoine Dilhac, Juliette FELIX and Joseph Devlin will address these questions during our Symposium on "How can industries operate through AI ACT?"
