In the push to make AI systems more ethical and trustworthy, organizations are realizing the broad scopeof things to consider under the umbrella of Trustworthy AI.
The European Union and United States put out a joint statement Friday affirming a desire to increase cooperation over artificial intelligence. As we reported Wednesday, this is the fruit of the sixth (and possibly last) meeting of the EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council (TTC). Given the possibility of Donald Trump returning to the White House in the U.S. presidential elections taking place later this year, it's not clear how much EU-US cooperation on AI or any other strategic tech area will actually happen in the near future.
Germany will approve the European Union's pioneering AI Act after the minister responsible for digital issues said a compromise had been reached. The European Union in December reached a provisional deal for artificial intelligence rules to establish a regulatory framework for the development of AI, but it has to be agreed by members and the European Parliament. "Without the use of artificial intelligence, there will be no competitiveness in the future," said German Digital Minister Volker Wissing, of the pro-business Free Democrats who are strong advocates of protecting civil liberties.
