| | | | The EU is setting out to crack the AI regulation code. But will it succeed?
EU policy makers are deep in the weeds of negotiating the AI Act, which seeks to set the ground rules for how to regulate AI in the European Union, including so-called “general-purpose AI” — think: AI systems like GPT-3 and DALL-E that are surprisingly good at creating convincing snippets of text or computer-generated images.
Key questions for regulators include how to address the risks that have arisen from these types of systems, which have been shown to perpetuate harmful stereotypes against women or marginalized groups. In this discussion, we will explore what effective regulation could look like in the EU, who needs to be held accountable, and how the equation changes once open source software enters the mix.
On Tuesday, November 29, join us for a virtual Dialogue & Debate where experts at the intersection of policy and AI will unpack the big questions we have about risks and regulation.
