A new generation of artificial intelligence technology is booming in the world, injecting new momentum into the development of digital economy and profoundly changing the social production and lifestyle. At the same time, how to manage actively and effectively in the wave of technological change, and develop responsible artificial intelligence, has become a global common topic of the times. On January 18, 2021, the Kuangshi Institute of artificial intelligence governance and the people's think tank, an authoritative research institution, jointly released the "top 10 global artificial intelligence governance events in 2020", which reviewed and analyzed the AI events with the most theoretical value, practical value, news value and research value in the past year, hoping to promote multi-party dialogue and multi governance.
The selection, after comprehensive information, data, people's forum 100000 + netizens vote, and the opinions of well-known experts, finally came to the top ten global AI governance events in 2020. These events not only reflect the practical exploration and cutting-edge trend in the field of artificial intelligence governance, but also reflect the public's ardent expectation of guiding artificial intelligence to the good, promoting human well-being and improving people's livelihood through the benign development of new generation information technology. The public can log in to the special page of "top 10 global AI governance events in 2020" on the people's forum website to read the details of the top 10 events and understand the opinions of experts.
Ten events from four dimensions, hot events lead to calm thinking
The selection is mainly based on four main dimensions: artificial intelligence and public welfare, artificial intelligence and fairness and justice, artificial intelligence government (enterprise) governance, artificial intelligence system security and data privacy security. The vote rate of each event also truly reflects the degree of public concern about such issues.
Kuangshi united with people's think tank to publish the top ten global AI governance events in 2020
Whether the development of technology brings happiness or more concerns to human society is the standard to measure the dimension of artificial intelligence and public well-being. On the one hand, artificial intelligence benefits the vulnerable groups and really gives care to the elderly and young people, such as "artificial intelligence technology early warning water meters for the elderly living alone and campus violence (ranked fifth, with a vote rate of 49.69%)"; on the other hand, the application of artificial intelligence technology in military and other fields also expands people's worries about technology (ranked tenth, with a vote rate of 48.22%).
In the dimension of artificial intelligence and fairness and justice, we can see that the typical event in 2020 is "under the artificial intelligence algorithm, some takeaway riders challenge the traffic rules, and" assistants "may become" killers "(ranking first, with a vote rate of 51.2%). This event caused people to think deeply about the relationship between human and system, work efficiency and humanistic care. At the same time, we also see that in the era of human-computer coexistence, the judgment of fairness and justice is facing a more and more complex situation. For example, even for technical crimes, people still have to be punished (ranking No. 9, with a vote rate of 48.75%), but even if people generate algorithms, the products generated by artificial intelligence will also be judged that machines have copyright (ranking No. 3, with a vote rate of 49.78%).
In the dimension of government (enterprise) governance of artificial intelligence, we can see that countries all over the world try to guide the development direction of artificial intelligence through the improvement of laws and regulations, and explore the balance between technological progress and social stability. For example, "Europe, the United States and South Korea have successively issued new regulations on artificial intelligence governance, which strictly restrict or even prohibit the development and application of relevant artificial intelligence technologies in some scenarios (ranking fourth, with 49.73%). At the same time, the leading enterprises at home and abroad have also made their own attempts based on their own understanding of science and technology ethics. For example, "American technology giants, based on their own moral judgment, strengthen enterprise self-discipline and supervision of artificial intelligence technology (ranking No. 6, with a vote rate of 49.55%)".
In the dimension of AI system security and data privacy security, the breakthrough progress of technology is often exciting, but the systematic risk in the process of application technology is often unexpected. For example, "artificial intelligence can translate brain ideas, turn brain signals into text data," read consciousness "makes privacy nowhere to hide (ranking No.2, vote rate: 50.09%)," artificial intelligence technology breaks through the existing boundaries, has "independent consciousness", and can realize independent research and development, self-healing and other functions (ranking No.8, vote rate: 48.75%), "automatic driving service is on the road" The ownership of rights and responsibilities behind the fast lane and "unmanned vehicle" is of great concern (ranking seventh, with a vote rate of 48.89%). The boundary of technology and the interests of human beings are still in the process of long-term game.
In the process of development and governance, enterprises should have both "telescope" and "microscope"
In the face of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, experts pointed out that different from the "development before governance" mode in the Internet era, artificial intelligence has greater energy to change all aspects of our lives, so we must adopt the new mode of "development while governance". In this process, Kuangshi, as a pragmatic promoter of enterprise AI governance, believes that technology enterprises should play a more active role.
