Essential Rules Of Artificial Intelligence

Essential Rules Of Artificial Intelligence AI Rules - Europe can combine its technological and industrial strengths with a high-quality digital infrastructure and a regulatory framework based on its fundamental values to become a global leader in innovation in the data economy and its applications as set out in the European data strategy. - Benefits of development of Al systems: 1. For citizens to reap new benefits for example improved health care, fewer breakdowns of household machinery, safer and cleaner transport systems, better public services; 2. For business development, for example a new generation of products and services in areas where Europe is particularly strong (machinery, transport, cybersecurity, farming, the green and circular economy, healthcare and high-value added sectors like fashion and tourism); 3. For services of public interest, for example by reducing the costs of providing services (transport, education, energy and waste management), by improving the sustainability of products and by equipping law enforcement authorities with appropriate tools to ensure the security of citizens, with proper safeguards to respect their rights and freedoms. - Given the major impact that Al can have on our society, it is vital that European Al is grounded in our values and fundamental rights such as human dignity and privacy protection. White Paper on Artificial Intelligence A European approach to excellence and trust: Brussels, 19.2.2020 COM(2020) 65 final: "Furthermore, the impact of AI systems should be considered not only from an individual perspective, but also from the perspective of society as a whole. The use of Al systems can have a significant role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and in supporting the democratic process and social rights. With its recent proposals on the European Green Deal, Europe is leading the way in tackling climate and environmental-related challenges. Digital technologies such as Al are a critical enabler for attaining the goals of the Green Deal. Given the increasing importance of AI, the environmental impact of AI systems needs to be duly considered throughout their lifecycle and across the entire supply chain, e.g. as rega resource usage for the training of algorithms and the storage of data. The Goals: 1. Competition 2. Protection of consumers 3. Enhance trust 4. Avoid fragmentation of the EU market and its rules Essential Rules (Yet To Come...)  Artificial Intelligence Act (proposal 2021/2023...)  Proposal of directive on PLD 2022 (full revision of Product liability directive 374/1985)  Proposal of directive for Al liability (« non contractual liability ») doc COM 2022/496 final Rules: Artificial Intelligence Act (2023 To Come) - Risk based approach - Classification of risk - Access to market: notification? - Insurance? 1. Not allowed activities 2. High risk activities 3. Normal/low risk Sustainability “OF” AI  Is AI in itself environmentally sustainable?  Is AI socially sustainable?  Is Al economically sustainable? Smart Cars And Smart Mobility What are the problems? Smart Cars: Are They Fit For Environmental Sustainability? - Traffic: recurrent/temporally causes - Avoid traffic jams by: 1. Better routes (glocalization) 2. Management of driving risks of snow/rain... 3. Reduce accidents and traffic alterations - Less pollution - Less damages to environment Smart Cars And Social Sustainability  Mobility for everybody 1. Old people 2. People with physical disabilities  Better driving style (the machine decides)  Saving human lives fundamental values See Declaration of Amsterdam on cooperation in the field of connected and automated driving (14-15 April 2016) Bias: - Problem of Costs of innovation: not for everybody - Cost of Cars - Poor areas → no innovation of smart cities - Environmental bias: Material/ Debris: impact on communities (generally in poor geographic areas) Social Adverse Effects 1. Once again: Debris: impact on communities 2. Privacy/discrimination issues 3. Control of many activities: biometric control> prohibited or high risks activities according to AI Act: what can the data concern? Who in the end collect them? Social Sustainability: Ethics - Moral Machine  Priorities of self-driving cars Principle Of Non-Discrimination:  Over time EU non-discrimination law, apart from the distinctly market-orientated approach, has also taken on a social dimension by including within its ambit the struggle against discrimination based on gender, race, ethnic origin, age, disability or sexual orientation. This development is part of a more general trend in fundamental rights in the EU.  Article 21 on "non-discrimination" of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which became formally part of EU law after the Lisbon Treaty was ratified, but which had guided the ECJ in its interpretation and application of Community law beforehand Conclusion Sustainability and AI: both ongoing processes:  Need for political stewardship - legal habitat  Protect citizens, environmental and animal issues  Finance transition in order to make it available: sustainable finance- green bonds  Encouraging a correct business behavior  Encourage responsible consumer behavior
