Description
This paper offers insights into eight broad areas of concern regarding artificial intelligence (AI). It is intended as a provocation to remind us that as AI is increasingly adopted in day-to-day lives, there are significant opportunities but also substantial risks. The paper is designed to open up new areas for regulatory thought as AI regulation takes shape.
Like digital platform regulations, any approach to addressing AI regulation needs to take a broad, risk-based approach that moves beyond the narrow concerns of platform regulation and adopts a systemic focus that sees the breadth of risks and seeks systemic solutions.
The paper offers short provocations addressing:
- Environmental risks
- Corporate control of human relationships
- Creative industries
- The information ecosystem
- The rights of women and girls
- Ultra-processed healthcare
- Automated injustice
- Digital dependency.
