techxplore.com; 'Sense of urgency', as top tech players seek AI ethical rules
"Some two dozen high-ranking representatives of the global and Swiss
economies, as well as scientists and academics, met in Geneva for the
first Swiss Global Digital Summit aimed at seeking agreement on ethical
guidelines to steer technological development...
Microsoft president Brad Smith insisted on the importance that
"technology be guided by values, and that those values be translated
into principles and that those principles be pursued by concrete steps."
"We are the first generation of people who have the power to build
machines with the capability to make decisions that have in the past
only been made by people," he told reporters.
He stressed the need for "transparency" and "accountability ... to
ensure that the people who create technology, including at companies
like the one I work for remain accountable to the public at large."
"We need to start taking steps (towards ethical standards) with a sense of urgency," he said."
