A recent article published on Fox News highlights concerns from experts regarding the United Nations’ involvement in artificial intelligence (AI) regulation. The expert warns that the UN’s approach could potentially lead to overregulation, stifling innovation and hindering the development of AI technologies.
The core of the concern revolves around the balance between ensuring safety and promoting innovation. Overly stringent regulations may impede technological advancements and limit the benefits that AI can bring to society. On the other hand, insufficient regulation could lead to unethical uses of AI or unintended consequences.
The Boston Global Forum (BGF) has been a pioneer in AI governance since 2017 through its AI World Society (AIWS) Initiative. The AIWS initiative advocates for a balanced approach to AI governance that promotes innovation while ensuring ethical standards and societal benefits.
The concerns raised about the UN’s role in AI regulation underscore the need for ongoing discussions about the future of AI governance. Balancing innovation with safety is a complex challenge that requires input from various stakeholders.
The US will hold a safety summit in November to better coordinate global regulation efforts.
