The Preliminary Report of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI: “…a first-of-its-kind independent scientific assessment of the capabilities, emerging opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. The Panel, composed of independent scientists and experts from all 5 UN regions, outlines trends in AI. It’s central warning: current safeguards cannot keep pace with the growth of AI’s capabilities.
It identifies a crucial evidence challenge for decision-makers around the world: policymakers need scientific evidence to effectively govern AI, but by the time the evidence is clear, it may be too late to act on it. In the report, the Panel outlines its findings across seven key domains:
- AI science, advances & trajectories
- Societal applications: science, health, education & agriculture
- Economic implications
- Security, systems & environmental implications
- Human rights, information & democracy
- Cultural & individual flourishing, autonomy and child safety
- Management, governance & reliability..(More)”.
