The UN Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence (AI) officially released its preliminary report on Wednesday, days before the first Global Dialogue on AI Governance scheduled for Geneva next week.
The report, “Preliminary Report of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI: Evidence-based assessment of opportunities, risks and impacts of AI,” presented an independent scientific assessment of the capabilities and the emerging opportunities and risks of AI, providing a shared evidence base to help UN member states navigate a rapidly changing technology.
“This collaborative effort to build a shared understanding of AI arrives at a critical inflection point,” the panel said in a press release.
Governments are making consequential decisions about AI under great uncertainty with rapidly changing, often conflicting sources of evidence and perspectives that do not necessarily reflect local realities. As the capabilities of AI continue to grow, so do the stakes for the decisions being made around the world, which is the core challenge the panel aims to address, according to the release.
