Dear European AI Alliance Members,
As we stand at the forefront of AI advancements, our collective focus on AI safety and control has never been more crucial. I'm reaching out to engage each of you in a pivotal dialogue about the multifaceted efforts in this domain. Our collaboration can shape a future where AI is not only advanced but also aligned with ethical standards and societal needs.
Value Alignment in AI: It's essential to infuse AI systems with an understanding of human values. This intersection of technology and ethics requires our diverse insights to ensure AI's ethical grounding.
AI Containment Strategies: The concept of "AI boxes" marks our efforts to control AI's influence. However, as AI evolves, so must our strategies. I encourage us to brainstorm innovative containment methods that are adaptable and robust.
Transparency in AI: Creating AI systems that are interpretable and explainable is a cornerstone of trust. Let’s work towards making AI's decision-making processes transparent and accessible to all.
Human Oversight in AI: Maintaining human judgment in AI’s decision-making, especially in high-stakes situations, is a principle we must uphold. This balance highlights the irreplaceable value of human intuition alongside AI precision.
Inclusive AI Governance: AI impacts a broad spectrum of society. Thus, involving a diverse range of stakeholders in its development and governance is critical. I invite ideas on how to make AI development socially responsible and ethically sound.
Balancing Preventive and Reactive AI Strategies: We need to anticipate potential risks and have the capability to intervene when AI behaves unpredictably. Sharing strategies and experiences in this area could be highly beneficial.
Managing AI Risks: Addressing both immediate risks and long-term existential threats requires a nuanced understanding. I propose discussions to shape effective short-term policies and long-term strategies.
Fostering International AI Collaboration: Establishing global norms and regulations for AI is essential. Our Alliance can lead these international efforts, and I look forward to your insights on this.
Moratoriums on High-risk AI: Considering temporary bans on high-risk AI applications until safety mechanisms are established is a cautious approach. Let's debate the merits and implications of such proposals.
AI Simulations and Scenario Planning: Using simulations to anticipate AI’s evolution and potential safety issues is a proactive approach. Collaborative scenario planning could greatly enhance our preparedness.
This post is an invitation to actively engage in shaping AI's future. Let's share insights, discuss strategies, and collaborate on initiatives that ensure AI's safe and ethical development. Your opinions, experiences, and expertise are invaluable in this collective journey.
Call to Action: Please share your thoughts, suggestions, and strategies in the comments below. Let's make this a vibrant, collaborative, and insightful discussion that paves the way for a safer AI future.
Looking forward to an engaging and fruitful discussion.
Best regards,

1.Education, both for users and AI providers/producers.
a)Users. Education campaign(s) for all members of society, starting with schools. A better understanding of AI, its nature, its benefits, its potential pitfalls, and how it can be used, would not only help shape the conscience of society, but society would be more demanding of service providers. This is not a one-time task, AI and humanity's evolution towards synergy with machines is in motion and cannot be stopped, and regulations alone will not be sufficient to manage this development wisely, it is a responsibility of all of us.
b)AI providers/producers. Frequent and cyclical workshops, at the EU level but also at the local level, should be held to teach developers how to properly follow regulations, how to adapt the changing technology to the law and to social/ethical responsibilities. The C-suite of AI companies should receive additional training explaining what ethical and social responsibility means to spread the awareness across their organizations.
2. Create a useful, UE-maintained platform for service providers and producers (which could be AI-powered, as it should also learn over time and be change-sensitive) to allow them to perform any necessary risk and impact assessment of their solution before they go to market or before they introduce any major change. Such tools should be trained to recognize all regulatory requirements (meaning only the AI Act, but also other applicable laws regarding privacy and cyber-related matters), social and ethical impacts on human rights, and be human-centered. Developers could thoroughly assess their technology and get the report or ready-to-use policies and procedures to be applied in their organization. If we want everyone to develop responsible AI, we should make it easy and manageable.
3. Bold&Beyond ethical thinking. Much of what we are experiencing today was considered science fiction not so long ago. The exponential growth of technology does not allow us to apply the same approach to assessing the pace of change in industry and society as we did in previous centuries. The past 14 months have been a great example of hyper-speed in the development of many services or tools based on Gen-AI, and much more is happening in the labs. This speed is bold, and we should also think boldly about its direction. By which I mean that we should already be thinking about possible scenarios that are not yet common use cases, but also those that sound futuristic, such as technological intervention in the human body through nanobots that enhance our current computation capabilities, making some people "better than others". Regular summits or conferences should be initiated at EU or even world level to discuss the ethical and societal implications of current and future developments based on the latest discoveries and predictions.
