The UN will require greater transparency from companies that use platforms that use artificial intelligence tools (IA) and will seek a common position among countries on these technologies.

At a telematics roundtable held a week before the sixth AI Forever conference in Geneva next week, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin called for greater transparency in the field of artificial intelligence. .

“Transparency is the main means of non-discrimination (…) and when we talk about data We need to make sure that they are used for the benefit of humanity.”the American said.

Bogdan-Martin also raised concerns about gender, racist, religious or cultural biases that may be behind the codes of artificial intelligence technologies.

In this sense, he called on the participants who will attend the next ITU summit in Geneva to reach agreements and rules on this issue.

This was stated by Deputy Director General for Social and Human Sciences of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Gabriela Ramos. environment, work, health or education are some of the scenarios where AI regulation is needed more than ever.

Bogdan-Martin and Ramos named China and the European Union (EU) among the countries and global players that have already declared their readiness to adopt regulations on this type of technology.

Organizers expect more than 3,000 people to attend the Geneva Summit.

The conference will not only discuss various scenarios for regulating artificial intelligence, but will also showcase innovative projects, especially in the field of humanoid robotics.
