Alliances needed to impose a European code of ethics

[Shishirgano9]

Today, European industries are (too) easily allying themselves with the obvious AI players .

Carrefour is partnering with Google to create an AI lab with around fifty data experts, SAMU is working with UBER, Orange is collaborating with Microsoft to develop responsible AI tools. Facebook has opened its Parisian lab dedicated to AI, the Facebook AI Research (FAIR), with Pôle Emploi as one of the partners.

Ethical issues are of course not a European cultural exception, the ecuador cell phone number list GAFAs are trying to propose their own solutions, even if Google 's Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC) was not a great success, dissolved barely a week after its creation. Facebook , for its part, announced in January the creation of an “Institute for the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence”, in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich. Industries are also collaborating with each other.

In Germany, insurance companies are working together on the subject of AI, particularly on cultural transformation. To be credible in its ethical claims , Europe needs to be strong and efficient in the AI ​​sector. One of the key areas for this is also the control of data , today often hosted on platforms in the hands of tech giants.
