The Upcoming Paris AI Action Summit
On the 10th and 11th of February, politicians and global experts in Artificial Intelligence will convene in Paris for the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit.
In a symbolic departure from past AI Safety Summits in Bletchley Park and Seoul, the team behind Paris’ AI Summit have decided to remove safety from their name altogether, focussing instead on how to “embrace” and “catalyse” the “massive deployment of AI”.
While the summit will focus on AI safety issues such as discrimination, misinformation and the future of work, there is insufficient time dedicated to the risks of building super-intelligent AIs, a goal that many AI companies are actively pursuing.
Change.org Petition
And that’s why we’re asking the organizing team to allocate more time for AI Safety discussions, and for national delegations of the past, present and future summits to:
Host at least one session on the need to create global treaties and regulations to mitigate catastrophic risks from AI and reign in the companies and organizations racing to build ever more capable and dangerous AI systems.
Host at least one session on the establishment of international AI safety bodies to enforce such treaties and to uphold AI regulations in a framework of mutual transparency.
Facilitate delegates’ abilities to share and review best practices on how each nation can contribute to the challenge of protecting our common future as well as their own populations from the risk of AI.
You can help us by signing the petition here, and sharing it with two people who worry about the dangers of AI and might want to join us.
