The United States and Europe are drawing up a voluntary code of conduct for artificial intelligence as the developing technology triggers warnings about the risks it poses to humanity and growing calls for regulation.
Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President for A Europe Fit for the Digital Age and Competition, left, shakes hands with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a stakeholder event, in connection to the Trade and Technology Council meeting between Europe and the United States, in Lulea, Sweden, Wednesday, May 31, 2023.
“We need accountable artificial intelligence. Generative AI is a complete game changer,” Vestager said, adding that a draft of the code was expected within weeks. The council has “an important role to play in helping establish voluntary codes of conduct that would be open to all like-minded countries,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Scientists and tech leaders warned that mitigating AI risks should be a global priority because it could lead to human extinction, according to a statement posted online Tuesday and signed by hundreds of experts.
