AI needs global standards, argues professor
The world has reached agreement on nuclear standards and on what constitutes war crimes, and it can do the same for artificial intelligence, according to Lampros Stergioulas, UNESCO chair in artificial intelligence and data science for society and professor of data science and AI at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
AI systems can quickly cross borders, making global cooperation essential, he argues. A tool developed in one country can be used in another almost immediately, meaning its risks can spread just as quickly. Countries therefore need to work together on common standards for AI.
"AI has no borders," he says.
