A Roundtable Discussion and Workshop

A fundamental agreement between the EU, US and international organizations is that the use of AI should be ethical, fair, reliable, safe, secure, inclusive, transparent and accountable.
However, this also raises a few questions: 

  • How does one actually achieve these goals in a practical sense and what if these goals conflict with each other?

  • What laws on AI, if any, are appropriate and how are the EU and the US approaching the legal regulation of AI?

  • How are international organizations addressing AI?

  • Do AI goals and ESG goals conflict? Does the rise of AI threaten our security?

  • How can one best foster AI innovation while protecting core values?

Over the course of this workshop, three expert speakers on the field of AI regulation offer an interoperable lesson from comparative studies of AI policies and jurisdictions across international fora (UNESCO, Council of Europe, Hiroshima Process, OECD, UN AI Governance for Humanity, WIPO).
