Business programme

As artificial intelligence becomes more popular and its capabilities expand to include AI-based chips in people’s brains, there is a growing need to draft and introduce regulatory restrictions to ensure the safety, ethics, and responsibility of the use of AI. This also extends to the creation of legislative and regulatory frameworks that govern the development, dissemination, and use of AI. The primary goal is to balance the innovative potential of AI with the need to protect human rights, ensure transparency, and prevent abuse. How can we find a balance between protecting the interests of people and technological development, as well as the economic potential of technology? What are the universal implications of introducing AI: what kind of impact will it have on the labour market and media? How should AI be applied in sensitive areas, such as the military-industrial complex, medicine, and education, and what are the risks, benefits, and moral and ethical aspects? What is the best way to protect data, preserve copyrights, and ensure privacy, while continuing to develop AI? Can we teach AI ethical principles, including fairness, transparency, privacy, and responsibility? How can we develop security standards to prevent abuse and errors in AI systems? Who is going to take responsibility for decisions made by AI? International cooperation and standardization: how should we develop international standards and norms to harmonize approaches to the regulation of AI?
