SUMMARY:Transatlantic Approaches on Digital Governance: A New Social Contract on Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:From 27 to 29 of April\, 2020\, at Harvard University and MIT\, the World Leadership Alliance – Club de Madrid (WLA-CdM) in partnership with the Boston Global Forum (BGF) is organizing a Transatlantic and multi-stakeholder dialogue on global challenges and policy solutions in the context of the need to create a new social contract on digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI). \nOver the years\, Transatlantic relations have been characterized by close cooperation and continuous work for common interests and values. This cooperation has been essential to enhance the multilateralism system\, considering the shared principles from both sides on democracy\, rule of law\, and fairness. \nBy comparing American and European approaches in the creation of a new social contract on AI and digital governance\, under the critical eye of former democratic Heads of State or Government\, this policy dialogue will stimulate new thinking and bring out ideas from representatives of governments\, academic institutions and think tanks\, tech companies\, and civil society\, from both regions. \nAt the same time\, the discussion will generate a space to encourage and strengthen Transatlantic cooperation on the new social contract of digital governance in the framework of needed reforms of the multilateral system. Special attention will be focused to engage technological companies as key stakeholders of digital governance\, while protecting democratic mandate for public policy-makers. \nThis special event is sponsored and supported by Tram Huong Khanh Hoa.
