Shaping AI’s Future: Balancing Regulation and Digital Transparency
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping industries and societies around the world. From healthcare to finance, autonomous systems are influencing decision-making, driving innovation and offering solutions to long-standing challenges. However, as AI technology becomes an increasingly integral part of everyday life, it also raises significant ethical, legal and social concerns. The complexity of AI’s capabilities presents a unique set of challenges that traditional frameworks – both ethical and legal – are struggling to address. Issues such as accountability, bias, privacy, and transparency are at the forefront of AI governance discussions, making it imperative to develop regulatory structures that can ensure the responsible deployment and use of these technologies.
This session will explore why AI regulation has become a critical issue in global technology governance, highlighting how a lack of transparency in AI systems can undermine public trust. Experts will explore how clear, accessible regulation is essential to ensure AI remains ethical, accountable and beneficial to society, while mitigating risks such as discrimination and lack of oversight. The discussion will also look at the challenges of designing regulations that keep pace with the rapid advancement of AI technology, ensuring that innovation is not stifled while addressing critical concerns.
This session, which focuses on exploring the positive and negative impacts of AI in various sectors, will delve into the ethical process of these benefits. The session will also focus on legal, complexities specifically addressing pertinent issues such as intellectual property, data privacy, liability, and accountability.
