SUMMARY:Boston Global Forum at the Riga Conference 2023: How to Govern AI in the Age of Global Tension?
DESCRIPTION:Cooperation between LATO\, organizer of Riga Conference 2023 and the Boston Global Forum: How to Govern AI in the Age of Global Tension? \nIn the 21st century\, global tensions have become more complex and unpredictable due to rapid technological change. This shift has redefined the arenas of contemporary conflict and warfare\, encompassing both traditional domains and the digital realm of cyberspace. Participation in conflicts is no longer limited to government; entities possessing the capability to develop\, possess\, and deploy technology—such as tech giants and hacker groups—can now exert significant influence. In this context\, there is an increasing global focus among governments and experts on the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on global tensions. AI technologies are currently being researched on a global scale\, with the aim of autonomizing weapons and weaponizing disruptive technologies such as 3D printing\, drones\, and robots. These advances have the potential to substantially reduce the cost of military operations and enhance targeting precision. How can AI be governed? What strategies will help to establish a global AI governance framework? Is a social contract regarding AI possible in the age of global tension? \nDavid Bray\, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center \nCameron Kerry\, Former Acting Secretary of Commerce of the US \nThomas Patterson\, Harvard Kennedy School Professor\, Co-Founder of BGF \nCaroline Louveaux\, Chief Privacy Officer\, MasterCard \nNguyen Anh Tuan\, Co-Founder and CEO of BGF \n  \nModerator: Prof. Žaneta Ozoliņa\, Vice-Chairwoman of the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation \n  \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm\, EDT\, Oct 19\, 2023 \nVenue: The National Library of Latvia and online

Experts\, policymakers\, and representatives of civil society will convene to discuss how the development of shared technical standards and a global regulation and assessment of the fundamentals of AI systems is the only way to ensure that AI is developed for the benefit of humanity. The symposium will delve into the ethical considerations surrounding AI\, and how technical standards can ensure that AI is developed and used in a way that aligns with values such as privacy\, transparency\, accountability\, inclusivity\, trustworthiness\, and the general respect for human rights. The discussions will also address the role of stakeholders\, including government\, industry\, and academia\, in establishing a global alignment on technical standards\, or Digital Compact. The seminar strives to promote global governance\, technological diplomacy\, and interdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders groups\, governmental and intergovernmental organization and standards organizations in the elaboration and application of global standards for Digital and AI in the effort of shaping the future for the common good of humanity and the planet. \nOpening remarks: Francesco Lapenta\, Director Institute of Future and Innovation Studies\, John Cabot University\nModerator: Fiamma Goretti\, change.org Italia\nSpeakers:\nKonstantinos Karachalios\, Director of Standards and former Managing Director IEEE.\nMimmo Squillace\, President UNINFO\nGianluca Misuraca\, Executive Director AI4GOV\nMihalis Kritikos\, Policy Analyst at European Commission\nTuan Nguyen\, CEO Boston Global Forum\, (opening remarks)\nAnna Gressel\, Caunsel at Paul\, Weiss\, Rifkind\, Wharton & Garrison LLP\nDario Focarelli\, General Director ANIA\nPaolo Dello Vicario\, CEO Bytek\nClelia Piperno\, CEO Babylonian Talmud Translation Project \nhttps://www.festivaldelladiplomazia.eu/eventi/tech-for-humanity-open-standards-trustworthy-ai-and-the-common-good/
