At the 158th GRIPS Forum on 5 November, 2018, Dr. Kay Firth-Butterfield(Head, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, World Economic Forum LLC), gave a lecture titled “Who or what should govern AI?”. 

abstract:

AI has the potential to radically change our lives for good. We need to encourage innovation to bring the technology to that goal. Equally the technology has shown that it has considerable ethical difficulties when applied to the wrong data sets, created in the wrong way and using data which was thought to be personal. This talk will explore these issues and as is governance necessary and if it is who or what should govern AI.
