The European Union is working on regulation that wants to ensure "Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence" by setting rules that would be enforceable in the EU. What will those rules look like, and how will they also guide AI developers outside of Europe? In data protection, the EU managed to set standards with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that inspired other constituencies to bring up their own privacy laws, a process that is still taking shape. While not all tech policies the EU agrees on are that impactful, will its upcoming regulatory approach make AI "work for the wellbeing of citizens" by respecting their rights and eliminating biases and discrimination, potentially globally?
My hope is that I can attract an audience that is interested in the content of the session (and my Mozilla fellowship in residence) and keep in touch to give me insights from all over the world.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:I will insert questions to the audience during the discussion to engage them so hopefully they stay on for the duration of the session, or at least long enough to give me input from where they are. I would benefit from 30 reactions just as much as from 3.
