Beijing is leading the way in AI regulation, releasing groundbreaking new strategies to govern algorithms, chatbots, and more. Global partners need a better understanding of what, exactly, this regulation entails, what it says about China’s AI priorities, and what lessons other AI regulators can learn.
The EU and ASEAN have diverging priorities in climate, security, technology, trade, and democracy. Stronger cooperation in these fields would enable the two blocs to tackle shared challenges and pursue common interests.
With the AI regulation debate in Washington at a critical juncture, the United States cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while China and Europe decide these fundamental issues for the world.
Bolstering cybersecurity has become an increased priority in the financial sector. Maintaining a secure cyberspace for the financial system has implications for digital financial inclusion, particularly among vulnerable populations.
With big data, California policymakers could improve everything from infrastructure to air quality—but first they need the tools to make use of it
So it is wise to expect not only compelling and lively new chapters in the human story—written partly in human longhand and partly in machine learning model weights – but also soul-searching about our lives and institutions, distress, and conflict as we probe how commoditized intelligence can reshape who we become.
The Central African Republic faces many challenges in adopting digital financial solutions, but it can learn from other post-conflict countries and improve its approach.
It’s time to look at the problem differently. Those attempting to address the issue should move away from attempts to regulate disinformation and toward the ecology of the information environment more generally.
Certainly our society is not ready for what is about to be thrust upon us as a result of the birth of artificial intelligence. Our only alternative appears to be to adapt as quickly as we can, because now that the Pandora’s box is open, there is likely no going back.
