24. Lee advocates for a commitment to lifelong learning,
asserting that leaders must be nimble in understanding
market dynamics and implementing change to keep
pace with the evolving AI landscape. Enthusiastically
embracing continuous learning is crucial to navigating
the rapid developments in AI technology, legality, and
other facets. Furthermore, she stresses the significance
of understanding the human impact of AI systems,
stating, "Life-long learning includes comprehending how
people are affected by our AI systems, offering crucial
insights including for risk mitigation and transparency
enhancement."
Recognizing the complexity of AI, Lee underscores the
need to cultivate a multidisciplinary team. "AI leaders
should inspire teams that communicate and collaborate
effectively, aligned with the organization's values
throughout the AI development and deployment lifecycle,"
she stresses. This involves fostering a shared thirst for
knowledge and adaptability among team members.
Global Voices, Global Benefits
International collaboration stands as a linchpin for
unlocking benefits and mitigating risks on a global scale
in the ever-expanding realms of AI and data. Lee
accentuates the importance of such collaboration,
stating, "International efforts, exemplified by initiatives like
the United Nations, OECD, GPAI, G7, G20, NATO, and the
UK AI Safety Summit reflect the reality that technology
transcends borders."
Lee, drawing on decades of experience and a multi-
disciplinary perspective, brings unique insights to
address the diverse needs of the global community.
Engaging in multi-stakeholder AI conversations
worldwide, from India to Taiwan, Europe, North
America, and the Middle East, allows me to ensure that
all voices are heard. Regular interactions with
government, civil society, industry, academia, and other
sectors further enrich her understanding. This inclusive
approach is crucial. Considering historically under-
represented voices in framing AI policies and practices
is essential to ensuring that AI benefits everyone, both
at the policy level and in practical AI implementation
within organizations.
Lee's advocacy for international harmonization in
responsible AI policies, standards and tools aligns with
the understanding that technology's impact knows no
boundaries. As she aptly puts it, "Working collectively on
a global scale is key to ensuring the widespread benefits of
AI for everyone."
AI as a Crucial Ally
In the quest to address the pressing issues of climate
crisis and biodiversity loss, AI emerges as a powerful
tool. Lee is co-leading the GPAI RAISE Committee and
she highlights the potential, stating, "Our comprehensive
reports outline specific use cases and roadmaps for
optimizing AI to help tackle these critical objectives."
However, she cautions against overlooking the
environmental risks associated with AI, as emphasized
in a 2022OECD and GPAI report. AI, if not developed
and deployed properly can exacerbate environmental
concerns with direct and indirect adverse impacts
necessitating improved measurements and reporting
techniques.
Policymakers in the US and EU are actively responding
to these concerns, underlining the need for
organizations to integrate sustainability into their
responsible AI programs. These developments
underscore the crucial role of addressing
environmental impacts in the responsible deployment
of AI, ensuring that it contributes positively to our
global challenges rather than exacerbating them.

25. Innovate to Influence
Laws and policies frequently change. Lee encourages
students to focus not only on current legal
requirements but also on how laws likely will and
should evolve. Anticipating legal change can help
organizations smoothly plan future operations, ensure
compliance and gain competitive advantages. This
forward-looking approach requires multidisciplinary
expertise, with legal and policy specialists effectively
coordinating with technical, business, environmental
sustainability, and other specialists. She encourages
students to collaborate in multi-disciplinary teams so
they can learn from each other and develop the
necessary knowledge and skills to tackle these complex
matters.
Inspired by innovation, Lee urges students to actively
participate in the policy-shaping process. "Students
shouldn't underestimate their potential to impact policy
developments positively," she asserts. Encouraging them
to bring new ideas to the forefront, their contributions
are invaluable in shaping the future trajectory of laws
and policies. This inclusive and proactive approach
ensures a dynamic and informed engagement with the
evolving legal landscape.
Policies in Progress
Artificial intelligence has advanced so much faster than
our intellectual property (IP) and other laws. For
instance, AI can help produce many valuable outputs
including creative content, inventions and data. Today's
IP laws do not clearly answer whether and to what
extent works created using AI are protectable. Nor do
the laws necessarily determine who has rights to any
such works that may be protectable. Scraping publicly
accessible information from third party websites also
raises myriad IP and other legal issues, as reflected in
several high-profile lawsuits. Unsurprisingly,
policymakers have turned their attention to AI as well
as IP, and this will likely continue.
Lee emphasizes the pivotal role of contracts in the
evolving AI and IP policy landscape, stating, "Contracts
can play a critical role in providing more certainty and
helping address some legal gaps." In a recent OECD blog
post, she elaborates on how parties can leverage
contracts for this purpose. Lee's GPAI efforts are
dedicated to establishing a global collaboration
platform for facilitating development of standard
contract terms. She anticipates ongoing work in tandem
with policymakers, developing business codes of
conduct and the creation of technical and educational
tools to further shape the AI and IP policy landscape.
Navigating the Future
Lee anticipates a continued rise in AI-driven
transactions. Issues such as intellectual property,
privacy, cybersecurity, and trustworthiness will be at
the forefront, as reflected in emerging AI policies and
laws. She also highlights the growing importance of
liability provisions in transactions, emphasizing that
contractually allocating liability for potential harms
caused by AI is a critical consideration.
To help navigate the complexities of AI systems with
intricate value chains, Lee suggests understanding
