The AI race is on. The rapid pace of development has already transformed the daily lives of many. While the potential benefits of AI are vast, addressing concerns about its misuse is crucial. Regulators worldwide, led by Europe with the 2024 EU AI Act, are working to ensure that AI serves humanity positively. This is a pivotal moment for technologists and entrepreneurs. Despite concerns about balancing innovation and safety, there is an opportunity to shape a future where ethical and trustworthy AI thrives, protecting the public interest.
There is a call to action to build and create tools that are accessible, open, transparent, interoperable, and inclusive. How can responsible innovation be ensured? How should data rights be defined? Does it matter if the music one listens to is created by a human or if a companion is a robot? What are the advantages and disadvantages of open-source systems? And what happens when AI hallucinates? To achieve this, it is essential to bring together the communities building AI and those impacted by it, counteracting the dystopian possibilities of AI and constructing a new narrative for the future of AI.
Data Natives, in partnership with Ethics in Entrepreneurship, invites engineers, creatives, policy experts, academics, civil society advocates, entrepreneurs, and artists to a two-day symposium to discuss the ethical, regulatory, and societal impacts of AI technologies.
This interactive symposium provides a platform for diverse perspectives to share and contribute their unique voices to the responsible AI conversation. Participants will collaborate to produce a white paper surveying the current state of Responsible AI and offering guidance on implementing these principles in practice. The event aims to nurture a cross-disciplinary professional community focused on responsible innovation and to empower change-makers with the resources needed to create the "Good" AI.
Applications are open to join this two-day in-person event in Berlin on October 22-23, 2024.
