Regulatory Guidelines for Optimal AI Management
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), concerns about its ethical use have become increasingly prominent. Governments and businesses worldwide are taking steps to address these concerns, with some leading the way in AI-focused regulations.
The European Union, for instance, is developing the EU AI Act. This legislation aims to ban unacceptable risk AI systems, such as those that manipulate humans or use real-time biometric identification. The EU is not alone in this endeavour; China has also implemented the Interim Administrative Measures for Generative Artificial Intelligence Services, requiring businesses offering generative AI services to complete a security assessment and file algorithms.
One of the key concerns with AI is its potential for manipulation. The second form of customer information, purchased from other organizations, is often used to persuade consumers into making purchases. Honest businesses should avoid such practices to maintain trust with their customers.
Impersonation and fraud are other areas of concern. The ability to create life-like images (deep fakes) of individuals has been used for these purposes, and businesses must take steps to protect against such activities. Developing an AI-supported Data Governance program and security rules can help reduce the risks of stolen and exploited data.
Unintentional or secretly planted biases in AI algorithms can affect hiring practices and customer service, potentially leading to discrimination. To combat this, businesses can use tools like Excel's What-If analysis tools (Goal Seek and Scenario Manager) to test AI systems for biases and promote equity and fairness.
President Biden issued an executive order regarding AI concerns on October 30, 2023, and the United States Senate initiated discussions with tech CEOs on AI issues in September of the same year. These discussions are crucial in shaping the future of AI and ensuring its responsible use.
Investing in data governance courses ensures that all staff understand the organization's code of ethics and long-term goals, working towards the same objectives. An AI governance code of ethics should outline the organization's commitment to ethical behaviour, including a desire to provide accurate information and avoid creating or distributing misinformation.
The Writers Guild of America went on strike, demanding increased wages and severe limitations on the use of AI for writing purposes. This highlights the need for businesses to balance the benefits of AI with the need to protect jobs and ensure fair practices.
Regularly scheduled ethics reports and routine audits can help strengthen the implementation of an AI governance program and promote responsible AI practices. A philosophy of "do no harm" when using AI can help businesses maintain customer trust and promote the advancement of humankind.
In conclusion, the ethical use of AI is a global concern, and governments and businesses are taking steps to address these issues. By implementing AI governance best practices, businesses can minimize risks, promote responsible AI use, and maintain customer trust.
