Webinar: "Catalyzing Cooperation: Working Together Across AI Governance Initiatives" Event 1 of the International Congress for the Governance of AI (23 March 2021)

 


  The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, City of Prague, and The World Technology Network will host a 2 hour webinar, "Catalyzing Cooperation: Working Together Across AI Governance Initiatives" which is the first event of its multi-event series "International Congress for the Governance of AI," 23 March 2021 (Noon - 1400 US East Coast; 1900-2100 CET). As they explain it: "Topics will include insights from high-level experts and decision-makers on what comprehensive and trustworthy governance looks like, as well as providing an overview of the Global Governance Network for AI (GGN-AI) proposal." 

Those interested might find the following recently distributed article of some value: Eugenio Vargas Garcia, Multilateralism and Artificial Intelligence: What Role for the United Nations? It offers a useful context for the discussion.  Those interested in some background on aspects of the event might find this essay of interest: Wendell Wallach and Gary Marchant, Toward the Agile and Comprehensive International Governance of AI and Robotics IEEE Proceedings 107(3):505 (March 2019) ("there is a growing consensus that traditional government regulation is not sufficient for the oversight of emerging technologies, such as AI and robot-ics. While government regulators and policy makers still play a critical role, oversight must be expanded to also include new institutions and methods that are more agile, holistic, reflexive,and inclusive." Ibid., p. 506).

The Event will take place: March 23, 2021 Noon-2PM EST, 5-7PM CET
