International and National Experiences of Artificial Intelligence Regulation: Best Practices

07 Jun , 12:00–13:00
The Transition to a Multipolar World Economy
Congress Centre, zone B, 2nd floor, conference hall B3

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are actively penetrating all aspects of our lives. The use of AI not only creates new opportunities, but poses serious risks as well. One major challenge is the monopolization of advanced developments in AI, as well as its regulation by Western states and their corporations. AI systems have enormous potential to manipulate human behaviour, and their autonomy is unprecedented compared with existing machines and information and communications technologies. The complexity of self-learning algorithms creates difficulties in monitoring the consistency of the quality of the functions they perform. Such risks have resulted in numerous initiatives to regulate AI, both nationally and internationally, with very different goals in mind: while the global majority seeks to gain non-discriminatory access to new technologies and bridge the digital divide, the collective West is trying to consolidate its monopoly position. How can we overcome the West’s technological monopoly of AI? What kind of AI regulation do we need? What new formats of international interaction are needed in this regard? What kind of international legal regulation of the development and use of AI is in the interests of Russian business? What Russian developments in the regulation of AI would be advisable to promote in the international arena? What are the interests of various global players in the international regulation of AI? What unique experience does Russia have in this area?
