Recently, three leading innovators in AI have agreed to take part in the AIWS Standards and Practice Committee: Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, Professor Matthias Scheutz and Harvard Fellow Sarah Cotterill.
Since AI can potentially be enormously helpful and harmful at the same time, to keep AI ethical, AIWS Standards and Practice Committee is established with key roles and responsibilities:
- Update and collect information on threats and potential harm posed by AI.
- Connect companies, universities, and governments to find ways to prevent threats and potential harm.
- Engage in the audit of behaviors and decisions in the creation of AI.
- Create both an Index and Report about AI threats – and identify the source of threats.
- Create a Report on respect for, and application of, ethics codes and standards of governments, companies, universities, individuals and all others…
There are 18 members of AIWS Standards and Practice Committee found by Michael Dukakis. Recently the board welcomed three innovative figures in the AI world.
The first figure is Mr. Hiroshi Ishiguro, the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory, part of the Department of Systems Innovation in the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University, who recently created an AI copy of himself.
The second new member is Mr. Matthias Scheutz, a professor of cognitive and computer science, and the director of the Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory at Tufts University.
And the latest new member is Ms. Sarah Cotterill, PhD of Psychology in Harvard University, Harvard Fellow. She conducts research on decision-making in the context of charitable giving, using experimental and machine learning techniques. She will join the Committee as the Secretary.
