Context
OUR TAKE In this regulatory evolution, a gap has emerged between regulation and the status quo of the technologies and tools used to monitor and control AI systems. This gap poses significant risks and highlights the need to advance tools to ensure effective AI governance. -Tuna Tu, BTW Reporter At this year’s ITU Global Summit on AI for Good, government leaders, policymakers, researchers and technologists from developed and developing countries gathered for the first AI Governance Day – From Principle to Implementation. The focus of this United Nations (UN) event is to move from principles to practical AI governance frameworks. It brings together different stakeholders and reflects ITU’s mission to create an inclusive and neutral platform for artificial intelligence (AI).
