The highly awaited day has come, as the AI for Good Summit will kick off tomorrow. At the UN’s AI for Good Global Summit, participants look for methods to apply artificial intelligence to tackle world issues and develop regulatory frameworks.
The AI for Good Global Summit 2023, a highly anticipated event that brings together experts from businesses like Microsoft and Amazon, universities, and international organizations to explore how to handle artificial intelligence, or AI, and use it to address global challenges, will take place this week at the United Nations.
The summit serves as a significant forum for cooperation. It is focused on the creation and use of AI technologies that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and advance the idea of utilizing AI to make a positive difference.
AI for Good is finally here
The 2023 AI For Good Global Summit intends to find real-world uses of artificial intelligence (AI) to hasten the achievement of the SDGs and to link AI inventors with decision-makers in the public and commercial sectors to support the global adoption of AI solutions. The United Nation’s AI for Good will take place between July 6-7.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 40 UN sister organizations, and the Swiss government collaborated to launch AI for Good. With the help of its multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary audience, the Summit aims to produce ‘AI for Good’ solutions that may be implemented in the near future.
Additionally, it places a high priority on networking, experiences, and matchmaking to encourage cooperation and guarantee the ethical, secure, and inclusive development of AI technologies as well as fair access to their advantages.
The “AI for Good Global Summit”, being held in Geneva on Thursday and Friday, will bring together around 3,000 experts from companies like Microsoft and Amazon as well as from universities and international organisations to try to sculpt frameworks for handling AI.
NLP in artificial intelligence: Understanding its role and importance
“This technology is moving fast,” said Doreen Bogdan-Martin, head of the International Telecommunication Union, the UN’s information and communications technology agency that convened the summit.
“It’s a real opportunity for the world’s leading voices on AI to come together on the global stage and to address governance issues. Doing nothing is not an option. Humanity is dependent upon it. So we have to engage and try and ensure a responsible future with AI,” she told reporters.
The meeting, according to her, will look at potential frameworks and restrictions to encourage responsible AI use.
Werner Vogels, the chief technology officer of Amazon, Lila Ibrahim, the chief operational officer of Google DeepMind, and Iker Casillas, the former captain of Spain’s national soccer team who had a heart attack in 2019 and is now an advocate for the use of AI to prevent heart attacks, are among the attendees listed.
Numerous robots, including many humanoids including Ai-Da, the first ultra-realistic robot artist, Ameca, the most sophisticated life-like robot, Desdemona, the humanoid rock singer, and Grace, the most sophisticated healthcare robot, will join them.
AI-Da will give the keynote speech
The United Nations AI for Good Global Summit will be held in Switzerland on July 6-7. Ai-Da, a ground-breaking humanoid AI robot artist and the face of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK, will deliver the keynote address.
With participation from 183 nations, the summit will be the largest gathering of specialists in artificial intelligence, ethics, and robotics. The conference aims to create a worldwide framework for AI regulation.
The ITU, located in Geneva, believes it can apply its expertise to AI governance. The ITU is the oldest UN organization, having been founded in 1865. It set up “SOS” as the universal marine distress signal in Morse code in 1906 and organizes everything from radio frequencies to satellites and 5G.
