I am thrilled to participate in this year’s UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Kyoto, where the discussion on Responsible AI and GenAI takes center stage.
On the first day, I had the honour of speaking about Australia’s approach to Responsible AI and contributing to the panel titled “Shaping AI Technologies to Ensure Respect for Human Rights and Democratic Values.”
The panel was chaired by Ambassador Thomas Schneider (Chair of the Committee on Artificial Intelligence at the Council of Europe), who also leads the Council of Europe’s (CoE) groundbreaking AI convention negotiation. I was joined by Bjorn Berge (Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe) and other esteemed representatives from various sectors and global regions, such as Francesca Rossi and Merve Hickok.
I articulated Australia’s progression from the AI Ethics framework established in 2019 to the recent great AI-related initiatives undertaken by the Australian Human Rights Commission (Lorraine Finlay) and eSafety Commission (Julie Inman – Grant). I further discussed National AI Centre (NAIC) and CSIRO’s Data61’s pattern-based approach to operationalizing responsible AI, which involves extracting best practices (along with their contexts, pros, and cons and connection to other best practices) and controls from known uses, standards and regulations, synthesising them, and enabling stakeholders to navigate the trade-offs and assurance. I also touched upon our latest endeavors concerning AI supply chain accountability (via AI Bills of Materials) and our new project that examines responsible AI through the lens of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance).
The day concluded on a high note with a reception event featuring a Japanese cultural performance and fireworks display. Having interacted with many new experts and policymakers from around the globe, I eagerly anticipate the enriching conversations slated for the upcoming days, during which I will be speaking at four additional sessions.
