"In light of the concerns aroused by the swift development of artificial intelligence, it is important to understand and apprehend risks, building on science and expertise to offer effective, accessible solutions that benefit everyone and protect our democracies.” Guillaume Poupard, Summit Envoy for Trusted AI.
Following the Bletchley Park and Seoul Summits, the international community now needs to continue its efforts comprehensively and inclusively in order to identify and address the risks of artificial intelligence.
Safety and security are central to trust, which is a prerequisite for achieving our overarching aim: public interest artificial intelligence.
The approach of the AI Action Summit is focused on three types of public goods: science, solutions and standards. The Bletchley Park Summit sparked an effort to establish the first public good in this field: a solid scientific consensus on artificial intelligence.
The time has come to develop open, universally accessible technical solutions and work on common standards to avoid fragmentation and encourage convergence around high levels of safety and security for artificial intelligence.
The risks associated with the development and integration of artificial intelligence systems will be addressed in Summit deliverables, particularly as regards the impact of AI on cyber security and on identifying and controlling the serious risks that could result from malicious use of these technologies. Specifically regarding the challenges of AI in terms of information manipulation, several deliverables will assess the real impact of AI on the integrity of information, and also illustrate the opportunities and solutions offered by artificial intelligence in this area.
The Summit will also be an opportunity to take stock of existing voluntary safety and security commitments on the part of major artificial intelligence pioneers.
Issues around ethics and the fight against discrimination will also be discussed.
These work focuses will be the subject of in-depth and sustained discussion between more than 20 States, the European Commission, the major international organizations working on these issues, some 50 civil society organizations and around 30 companies of all sizes from the sector.
