Abstract

The rapid acceleration in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses significant potential for society along with large scale risks. The transformative potential of AI cannot be realised without the protection of fundamental human rights and dignity and the principles of transparency and fairness. G7 countries have an opportunity to take a leading role in the governance, development, and distribution of this technology, paving the way to the engagement of G20 countries and the whole international community. In this brief we explore potential solutions to large scale problems regarding governance, standardisation, and the development of advanced AI. The proposals relate to the development of standards, the use of scientific collaboration as a method for development and governance, the essential role of human-centred education, and digital empowerment of people.
