New Delhi [India], September 11: In view of the dangers posed by artificial intelligence (AI), European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed the establishment of a new global advisory body.
A body similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) could deal with the societal risks, but also with the potential benefits of the technology, the German politician explained on Sunday at the end of the G20 summit of leading industrialized and emerging countries in India.
Together with partners, Europe should develop a global regulatory framework, she said. "The crucial question is how to harness a rapidly changing technology," von der Leyen said.
"It is telling that even the makers and inventors of AI are calling on political leaders to regulate." The possible dangers of artificial intelligence have been the subject of intense debate worldwide for months. The text generator ChatGPT, Google's competitor software Bard as well as programmes that can generate images based on text descriptions have caused a lot of public attention.
