[WSMDiscuss] [REDlistserve] Fwd: [vikalp-sangam-list] Consultation of Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

Thu Jul 23 16:04:38 CEST 2020

Oh dear, another consultation, divide and rule etc.
A citizens assembly with participants from around the world with
interpretation, would be far more real, wouldn¹t it?
That would be deliberative democracy.
Face to face is the most desirableŠ Of course I do not know how one could do
it online, but plenty of people are exploring how to make online meetings
work better for all.

Paris, 15 July  Today, UNESCO is launching a global online consultation on
the ethics of artificial intelligence, to give everyone around the world the
opportunity to participate in the work of its international group of experts
on AI. This group has been charged with producing the first draft of a
Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, to be submitted to UNESCO Member States
for adoption in November 2021. If adopted, it will be the first global
normative instrument to address the developments and applications of AI.

 ³It is crucial that as many people as possible take part in this
consultation, so that voices from around the world can be heard during the
drafting process for the first global normative instrument on the ethics of
AI², says Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO.

 Twenty-four renowned specialists with multidisciplinary expertise on the
ethics of artificial intelligence have been tasked with producing a draft
UNESCO Recommendation that takes into account the wide-ranging impacts of
AI, including on the environment and the needs of the global south.

 With this consultation, UNESCO is inviting civil society organizations,
decision-makers, the general public, intergovernmental and non-governmental
organizations, media representatives, the private sector, the scientific
community and all other interested stakeholders to comment on the draft text
before 31 July 2020.

 UNESCO is convinced that that there is an urgent need for a global
instrument on the ethics of AI to ensure that ethical, social and political
issues can be adequately addressed both in times of peace and in
extraordinary situations like the current global health crisis.

 The UNESCO Recommendation is expected to define shared values and
principles, and identify concrete policy measures on the ethics of AI. Its
role will be to help Member States ensure that they uphold the fundamental
rights of the UN Charter and of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
and that research, design, development, and deployment of AI systems take
into account the well-being of humanity, the environment and sustainable
development.

 The final draft text will be presented for adoption by Member States during
the 41st session of UNESCO¹s General Conference in November 2021.
