Proactive AI Governance

Governments are increasingly focusing on AI governance to ensure safe, secure, and trustworthy AI development and deployment, addressing ethical concerns and potential societal impacts.

Detailed Analysis

The rapid advancement of AI has prompted governments to develop governance frameworks to address ethical concerns and potential societal impacts. "Artificial Intelligence has been so fast in development, that Governments have struggled to keep up with governance." This includes initiatives such as the US Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI and the EU AI Act. These governance frameworks aim to promote responsible AI development and deployment, focusing on issues such as transparency, accountability, and bias. "The Executive Order contains guidelines and programmatic actions, amongst others: The establishment of Small Business AI Innovation and Commercialization Institutes that will provide support, technical assistance, and other resources to small businesses seeking to innovate, commercialize, scale, or otherwise advance the development of AI." The goal is to maximize the benefits of AI while mitigating potential risks.
