The public launch and mass uptake of ChatGPT in 2022 marked a watershed moment in the history of Artificial Intelligence (AI). ChatGPT, and other chatbots like it, increased the accessibility of generative AI to a wider public and brought more acute attention to AI-powered applications. Since then, the public and media’s sustained interest in AI has revealed the need for further platforms to discuss the safe development and deployment of AI. Hearing from a range of voices will be critical to realising the benefits of AI and to managing the potential risks presented in the short, medium and long-term.
Engineering Responsible AI: Safety at the Frontier and Beyond
Ahead of the AI Safety Summit in November, a wide range of experts from the Trades Union Congress to Google DeepMind provide their perspectives on AI safety and the outcomes they would like to see from the summit.
Engineering Responsible AI: Hopes and Fears for Generative AI
Six AI experts share their thoughts on the risks and opportunities with the recent, increased uptake of generative AI with the launch of ChatGPT. Those working at the forefront of AI development and deployment delve into the risks most pressing to them that range from bias and misrepresentation of poor data quality to the threat to democracy with multiple major elections in 2024.
This series of reflections seeks to provide clear and measured insight to create a sustainable society and inclusive economy. It also links to and builds on recent National Engineering Policy Centre work on AI and autonomy, and its safe and ethical use.
