WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SIMPLE WORDS.pdfSyedZakirHussian
Artificial Intelligence is a term that refers to the creation of computer systems with the ability to think and act intelligently. Many believe that with the advancement of technology, artificial intelligence is quickly becoming a reality. In this sense, the future is already here- and it’s just as terrifying as we thought it would be.
In 1943, Alan Turing published a paper titled On Computing Machinery, later referred to as the Turing Test. In this paper, Turing proposed that a computer could be considered to be as intelligent as a human being if it could pass a test designed to simulate common human behaviors. When testing a computer’s intelligence, many consider self-awareness to be an important factor. Essentially, a system must be able to recognize its own emotions and behaviors and respond to them appropriately.
Definition Of Artificial Intelligence
AI is commonly defined as a branch of study that focuses on building intelligent machines. However, there is no standard definition of AI. Therefore, there are many different approaches to creating intelligent machines. Some consider artificial intelligence to be an extension of human cognition; others believe that it’s an entirely new type of intelligence. Some consider artificial intelligence to be a threat while others believe it can help mankind advance in many ways.
Use Of Aritificial Inteligence
AI has been developed and applied in many different areas- including military, medical, and entertainment systems. The field of AI is rapidly growing in both popularity and complexity. Thanks to technological advancement, we no longer need to manually control complex machines with laborious human operators. Instead, we can program our robotic controls with advanced algorithms using artificial intelligence. We can also train our AI systems using machine learning so that they become more effective over time.

It discusses the transformative potential of AI, its impact on industries and the economy, societal and ethical considerations, and future prospects. The essay emphasizes responsible AI development, collaboration, and ethical use to shape a better future.
Artificial intelligence is being increasingly used by governments for surveillance through tools like facial recognition, smart cities, and policing. Over 75 countries use AI for surveillance, with China having the largest implementation that collects facial data from cameras. AI is also impacting economies by automating many jobs and potentially exacerbating wealth inequality. It could create new jobs but may replace workers and reduce tax revenue. The future effects of AI are uncertain but it is rapidly transforming society and influencing various industries and how we interact with technology. Governments are also using social media data and personality profiles to target political ads and influence elections.
IS AI IN JEOPARDY? THE NEED TO UNDER PROMISE AND OVER DELIVER – THE CASE FOR ...csandit
This document provides a review of media coverage on artificial intelligence (AI) and discusses the need to set precise and realistic goals for AI research. It summarizes both the positive perspectives on recent successes in AI as well as potential pitfalls, such as limitations of current deep learning techniques. The document recommends naming AI projects with specific, non-conflated terms to develop "really useful machines" rather than perpetuating hype around goals like artificial general intelligence.
AI driven automation will create wealth and expand economies. Find out the views of the Executive Office of the US President in this AI Government led initiative.
This document discusses the potential economic impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) driven automation. It finds that AI will open up new economic opportunities but may also disrupt jobs and increase inequality if not properly managed. While AI could boost productivity and economic growth, many jobs may be automated, requiring workers to gain new skills. The report outlines three policy strategies to maximize the benefits of AI: 1) Investing in developing beneficial AI technologies, 2) Educating and training workers for future jobs, and 3) Assisting workers impacted by automation and ensuring the benefits of AI are broadly shared. With the right policies, AI could improve living standards while mitigating costs through retraining and support for displaced workers.
This document discusses the potential economic impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) driven automation. It finds that AI will open up new economic opportunities but may also disrupt jobs and increase inequality. While AI could boost productivity and economic growth, many workers may need to transition to new jobs and skills. The report outlines three policy strategies to maximize the benefits of AI: 1) Investing in developing beneficial AI technologies, 2) Educating and training workers for future jobs, and 3) Providing support to help workers transition and ensure the benefits of AI are broadly shared.
Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and related fields have opened up new markets and
new opportunities for progress in critical areas such as health, education, energy, economic inclusion,
social welfare, and the environment. In recent years, machines have surpassed humans in the performance
of certain tasks related to intelligence, such as aspects of image recognition. Experts forecast that rapid
progress in the field of specialized artificial intelligence will continue. Although it is unlikely that
machines will exhibit broadly-applicable intelligence comparable to or exceeding that of humans in the
next 20 years, it is to be expected that machines will continue to reach and exceed human performance on
more and more tasks.
AI-driven automation will continue to create wealth and expand the American economy in the coming
years, but, while many will benefit, that growth will not be costless and will be accompanied by changes
in the skills that workers need to succeed in the economy, and structural changes in the economy.
Aggressive policy action will be needed to help Americans who are disadvantaged by these changes and
to ensure that the enormous benefits of AI and automation are developed by and available to all.
Following up on the Administration’s previous report, Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence,
which was published in October 2016, this report further investigates the effects of AI-driven automation
on the U.S. job market and economy, and outlines recommended policy responses.
This report was produced by a team from the Executive Office of the President including staff from the
Council of Economic Advisers, Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, Office of
Management and Budget, and Office of Science and Technology Policy. The analysis and
recommendations included herein draw on insights learned over the course of the Future of AI Initiative,
which was announced in May of 2016, and included Federal Government coordination efforts and crosssector
and public outreach on AI and related policy matters.
Beyond this report, more work remains, to further explore the policy implications of AI. Most notably, AI
creates important opportunities in cyberdefense, and can improve systems to detect fraudulent
transactions and messages.
AI has the potential to significantly impact jobs and the economy. Many roles could be automated, displacing millions of workers worldwide over the coming decades. However, AI can also boost productivity and free up time for higher-value work. The document discusses how AI is being applied in human resources to simplify processes, provide insights from large datasets, and help align HR and business strategies to drive growth. Concerns around bias, lack of emotions, and costs of developing AI systems are also addressed.
The document discusses several risks of artificial intelligence including job automation displacing many workers, potential malicious uses of AI that could harm humanity, privacy risks from exposing data to the internet, bias and widening inequality, autonomous weapons, stock market instability caused by algorithms, disruption of the art industry, risks in the medical field including bias and lack of explanation for some algorithms, and social manipulation through targeted advertising. It also notes the risk of misalignment between human values and the goals given to AI systems.
The document discusses the potential economic impact and value of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Some key points:
- Global GDP could be 14% higher by 2030 due to AI, equivalent to an additional $15.7 trillion in economic value. China and North America are expected to see the largest boosts of up to 26% and 14% respectively.
- The majority of GDP gains will come from increased productivity and consumption enabled by AI. Productivity gains will be driven by automation of processes and augmentation of human workers. Consumption gains will come from personalized and higher quality AI-enhanced products and services.
- Retail, financial services, and healthcare are identified as sectors that could see the biggest gains from AI

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Chen Yang Professor Quigley 10/14/17 Artificial intelligence Introduction In the world, things might happen in two different ways. One way that things do happen is natural and the other is the artificial. The natural is whereby there is no control over that while on the artificial one can be able to control and predetermine the outcome of the event. The same applies when it comes to intelligence. There is a natural intelligence and also artificial intelligence. This paper talks about the artificial intelligence and its effects and some of the effects that it can lead to if not well managed in the industry. Artificial intelligence therefore can be described as the apparent behavior 3by machines, rather than natural intelligence of humans and other animals. In fact this intelligence is done by use of machines where it is controlled and one can be able to predetermine the outcome Also the machines are given direction on how to carry out the research (Kerr, 2016). When it comes to the field of computer science, research that is carried out is usually 3defined as the study of intelligent agents whereby it is any device that can be able to perceive the environmental changes and be able to interpret the changes and make some conclusion. In fact, 4the term artificial intelligence is usually applied when a machine mimics cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as learning and problem s ...

The natural is whereby there is no control over that while on the artificial one can be able to control and predetermine the outcome of the event. The same applies when it comes to intelligence. There is a natural intelligence and also artificial intelligence. This paper talks about the artificial intelligence and its effects and some of the effects that it can lead to if not well managed in the industry. Artificial intelligence therefore can be described as the apparent behavior 3by machines, rather than natural intelligence of humans and other animals. In fact this intelligence is done by use of machines where it is controlled and one can be able to predetermine the outcome Also the machines are given direction on how to carry out the research (Kerr, 2016). When it comes to the field of computer science, research that is carried out is usually 3defined as the study of intelligent agents whereby it is any device that can be able to perceive the environmental changes and be able to interpret the changes and make some conclusion. In fact, 4the term artificial intelligence is usually applied when a machine mimics cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as learning and problem s ...

Good Citation Behaviour: Avoiding Citation ManipulationSarasadat Makian
In September 2022, I took a “Good Citation Behaviour” course by Clarivate
(Web of Science) aimed at early career researchers. There was a topic on citation manipulation and its implications in research.
I wanted to share some key takeaways from the course, which I believe are valuable to fellow researchers and anyone who appreciates the importance of accurate and ethical information dissemination.
💡 I found this course immensely beneficial, shedding light on the importance of proper referencing and the risks of citation manipulation in the academic community. I encourage Ph.D. students and early career researchers to take this course to learn more about citation manipulation and how to prevent it.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

World Travel & Tourism Council 2
FOREWORD
Who has a say in the design of intelligent machines? How do we make sure data is used responsibly?
Can algorithms exhibit unintended bias?
This is the third publication in our four-part initial series on artificial intelligence (AI) from the World
Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), in partnership with global technology leader Microsoft. In this
report, we explore the world of AI risks and governance, competing definitions of ‘responsibility’
when using AI, and the various attempts that are on-going to establish a global standard for the
ethical use of AI.
As this report series has shown, AI has come a long way in recent years. Today we can use AI to find
personalised holiday ideas at the touch of a button. We can make restaurant queues shorter and
reduce hotel food waste. As we cross borders, algorithms can optimise everything from airport
traffic, to passenger flow rates. Just imagine how transformative this technology could be at scale,
with the ability to spot patterns, make predictions, or fine-tune operations for improved safety
and efficiency to levels that were previously unthinkable.
But this progress is not without its dangers. Companies now hold huge amounts of information.
We’re more aware than ever of cyber threats, breaches of privacy, data bias and an alarming gap in
digital skills around the world. The unfortunate truth is that AI legislation and digital education has
simply failed to keep pace with the rapid development of AI.
At the World Travel & Tourism Council, we are incredibly optimistic about the possibilities of AI
in the decades to come. But we also believe that any technology must be used safely, fairly and
responsibly. At present, different systems of governance have emerged in different places, with no
global standard yet for the safe and responsible use of AI. That is why we are making sure the voice
of Travel & Tourism is heard - along with other sectors, policymakers, and civil society - as we figure
out the answers to these era-defining questions.
I hope you find this report valuable and insightful. As the AI and technology field evolves, we
will be paying close attention and updating you along the way. But ultimately, AI is simply a tool.
People - not machines - are responsible for our future. Travel & Tourism is by no means the only
voice in this conversation. But it should be a vocal one.

AI GOVERNANCE
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an exciting technology that opens up many possibilities for society, businesses and
the Travel & Tourism sector, but as AI systems become more advanced, it is important they remain under
human control and are aligned with our ethical values. There are risks that AI could be misused, or that it
may behave in unintended ways, with unintended consequences, if not properly designed and monitored. It
is therefore crucial that researchers, companies and governments consider both the upsides and downsides
of AI when developing and using AI, so that the world can successfully harness the huge potential of AI, while
addressing valid concerns about its risks.
AI Risks
There could be many potential risks of AI, often unique to each situation and use case, but below are five
strategic level AI risks that would be useful for all business leaders to be aware of and understand.
Risk Description Potential Mitigations
1 Bias
AI systems are trained on data, and
if the data is biased, the AI system
could lead to discrimination. Bias
could include being in favour (or
against) a particular idea, person, or
thing. This could occur, for example,
if an AI system was only trained on
either left-leaning, or right-leaning
media articles.
Datasets for training AI systems should
endeavour to include a broad and fully
representative set of data relevant to
their use case and the approval of AI
systems could include testing for bias.
2 Job Replacement
AI systems could automate many
jobs currently performed by humans,
potentially leading to significant
unemployment and the loss of
human skills in certain areas.
Workers should be trained to be able
to work alongside AI and job transition
plans considered for the most affected
employment areas.
3 Disinformation
Generative AI systems could be
used to maliciously create false or
misleading content (such as fake
text and images) that is deliberately
shared to deceive, or cause harm.
Watermarks, or other similar features,
could be included with AI generated
content to show that it was created by
AI.
4 Safety & Security
AI systems could cause safety and
security risks, with the most severe
risks impacting national security
or critical infrastructure, such as
electrical grids, or transportation and
traffic systems
AI used in safety critical systems (such as
driverless cars) and where there may be
security risks should be robustly tested,
approved for use by an appropriate
authority and have regular oversight
5 Existential Risk
AI systems could become so
intelligent that they surpass human
control.
AI systems should be developed
that align with our human values
and appropriate guardrails should be
internationally agreed and implemented
to control the development and use of
AI.
5. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 5
Recently there have been several high profile media stories about the risks of AI, including a study from Goldman
Sachs investment bank into the impact of AI on the global economy. They estimated that AI and automation
could replace up to 300 million jobs over the next 10 year, but also drive a 7% (or almost $7 trillion USD)
increase in global GDP 1
. For context WTTC data shows that pre-pandemic the global Travel & Tourism sector
accounted for nearly 300 million jobs, so this is equivalent to the loss of every single Travel & Tourism job over
the next decade. Some workers’ unions have therefore expressed ‘deep worry that employment law is not
keeping pace with the AI revolution’ and called for regulation on the use of AI for hiring, firing, performance
reviews and setting working conditions.
Goldman Sachs go on explain that in history, jobs displaced by automation have historically been offset by
the creation of new jobs, and the emergence of new occupations. They cite that 60% of today’s workers are
employed in occupations that didn’t exist in 1940, following many technological innovations since the Second
World War. Goldman Sachs therefore propose that AI could dramatically change the working landscape,
rather than lead to mass unemployment.
However they also note that unlike the previous automation revolutions which predominantly affected manual
(so called ‘blue-collar’) workers, such as factory workers being replaced by machines, the AI revolution would
predominantly affect skilled (or ‘white collar’) workers, with managers and professionals some of the most likely
to be impacted. The below diagram from the Goldman Sachs report shows that in Europe they estimate that
29% of managerial jobs and 34% of professional jobs (across all industries) could be replaced by AI and
automation over the next 10 years.
Goldman Sachs Global Economic Analysis : Potentially Large Effects of AI on Economic Growth 2
In early 2023 an open letter was published by the Future of Life Institute 3
calling for a pause on AI development
for at least 6 months. The letter argued that the risks of AI are so great, the world needs to take more time to
understand and mitigate them. The letter received considerable media attention as it was signed by over 30,000
interested parties, including Elon Musk (Owner of X, Tesla and SpaceX) and Steve Wozniak (Co-founder of
Apple). One of the main concerns raised in the letter was the risk of AI becoming ‘too smart’ and taking control
of our lives. While the risks of AI are noted by many, the open letters recommendation was not taken forward as
a global pause on all AI research and development was widely considered impractical and impossible to enforce.
A few months later, the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) also raised concerns about the existential risk of AI, with a
succinct public statement that “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside
other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war” 4
. This too was co-singed by several notable
figures including Bill Gates (Founder of Microsoft) and academics Geoffrey Hinton & Yoshua Bengio (who have
been nicknamed the ‘Godfathers of AI’ due to their pioneering research in the field).
While many of these public statements emphasised the negative risks of AI, an open letter from the UK Chartered
Institute for IT, also published in 2023 and signed by over 1300 academics, was issued to counter the ‘AI doom
narrative’ and called for governments to recognise AI as a “transformational force for good, not an existential
threat to humanity” 5
. The letter argued that AI will enhance every area of our lives, as long as the world gets
critical decisions about its development and use right and called for professional and technical standards for AI,
supported by a robust code of conduct, with international collaboration and fully resourced regulation.

UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres (post on X, 18th July 2023)
In July 2023, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), also met for the first time to discuss the issue of
AI, illustrating the seriousness of the technology. The session was chaired by the UK who described AI as a
“momentous opportunity on a scale that we can barely imagine. We must seize these opportunities and grasp
the challenges of AI decisively, optimistically, and from a position of global unity on essential principles”. The
chair went on to announce that in late 2023 “the UK will host the first major global summit on AI Safety with
world and industry leaders, where our shared goal will be to consider the risks of AI and decide how they can
be reduced through co-ordinated action“ 6
. This AI Safety Summit was held in the UK on 1-2 November 2023
Other international diplomats and officials at the UN Security Council also urged the world to take the emergence
of this new technology seriously. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres announced that he “welcomes calls
from some Member States for the creation of a new United Nations entity to support collective efforts to
govern this extraordinary technology” and “as a first step, I am convening a multistakeholder High Level
Advisory Board for Artificial Intelligence, that will report back on the options for global AI governance”. This
board submitted its interim report on Governing AI for Humanity to the UN Secretary General in October 2023,
with the final report to be published in September 2024
To help address the risks from AI, the US standards setting organisation, NIST, has released an AI Risk Management
Framework (AI RMF) 7
to assist all organisations that are designing, developing, deploying, or using AI systems.
The Framework is intended to be voluntary, rights-preserving, non-sector specific, and use-case agnostic to
provide flexibility to organisations of all sizes, in all sectors and throughout society. Its aim is to help all AI
stakeholders manage the many risks of AI, while promoting the trustworthy and responsible development and
use of AI systems. Though voluntary at this time, some have called for this to form the basis of a global regulatory
framework for managing AI risks.
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework has four core functions (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) which
contain 19 categories and 72 sub-categories
7. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 7
Responsible AI
‘Responsible AI’ is about ensuring AI systems operate appropriately, and is sometimes also called Safe AI,
Trustworthy AI or Ethical AI. Although these terms can each mean slightly different things, they are often used
interchangeably to recognise the need for AI systems to align with human values. WTTC industry members
Microsoft, IBM and Google have each developed a set of responsible AI principles that guide their AI research and
use, as illustrated below:
1. Inclusiveness - AI systems should
empower everyone and engage
people
1. Explainability - An AI system
should be transparent, particularly
about what went into its algorithm’s
recommendations, as relevant to a
variety of stakeholders with a variety
of objectives
1. Be socially beneficial - As we
consider potential development
and uses of AI technologies, we will
take into account a broad range of
social and economic factors, and will
proceed where we believe that the
overall likely benefits substantially
exceed the foreseeable risks and
downsides.
2. Fairness - AI systems should treat
all people fairly
2. Fairness - This refers to the
equitable treatment of individuals,
or groups of individuals, by an AI
system. When properly calibrated,
AI can assist humans in making fairer
choices, countering human biases,
and promoting inclusivity
2. Avoid creating or reinforcing unfair
bias - We will seek to avoid unjust
impacts on people, particularly those
related to sensitive characteristics
such as race, ethnicity, gender,
nationality, income, sexual orientation,
ability, and political or religious belief
3. Reliability & Safety - AI systems
should perform reliably and safely
3. Robustness – AI powered systems
must be actively defended from
adversarial attacks, minimising
security risks and enabling
confidence in system outcomes
3. Be built and tested for safety -
We will design our AI systems to be
appropriately cautious, and seek to
develop them in accordance with best
practices in AI safety research
4. Transparency - AI systems should
be understandable
4. Transparency - To reinforce
trust, users must be able to see
how the service works, evaluate its
functionality, and comprehend its
strengths and limitations
4. Be accountable to people - We
will design AI systems that provide
appropriate opportunities for
feedback, relevant explanations, and
appeal
5. Privacy & Security - AI systems
should be secure and respect
privacy
5. Privacy - AI systems must
prioritize and safeguard consumers’
privacy and data rights and provide
explicit assurances to users about
how their personal data will be used
and protected
5. Incorporate privacy design
principles - We will give opportunity
for notice and consent, encourage
architectures with privacy safeguards,
and provide appropriate transparency
and control over the use of data
6. Accountability - People should
be accountable for AI systems
6. Uphold high standards of scientific
excellence - We will work with a
range of stakeholders to promote
thoughtful leadership in this area
and we will responsibly share AI
knowledge by publishing educational
materials, best practices, and research
that enable more people to develop
useful AI applications
7. Be made available for uses that
accord with these principles - Many
technologies have multiple uses. We
will work to limit potentially harmful
or abusive applications

TheNISTAIRiskManagementFramework(mentionedearlier)hasalsodeveloped7characteristicsfortrustworthy
and responsible AI that aim to reduce negative AI risks.
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework defines 7 characteristics for ‘Trustworthy AI’
If a Travel & Tourism business does not yet have an approach to the responsible and ethical use of AI, the above
frameworks from NIST 6
, Microsoft 8
, Google 9
and IBM 10
can offer a good starting point to ensure the values
most important to the company are maintained when using AI.
AsAIisexpectedtoswiftlybecomemorecriticaltocompaniesandaneverydaybusinesstoolwithinorganisations,
adopting responsible AI principles should be considered as a high priority. This is to:
1) Manage Risk & Reputation: no organisation wants to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Incorrect or
biased actions based on the inappropriate use of AI could result in lawsuits and customer, stakeholder
or employee mistrust. This could lead to damaging the organisations reputation.
2) Maintain Corporate Values: ethical decisions are important to all organisations and requires monitoring
of the AI system over time to ensure it continues to meet organisational values as corporate strategy,
or behavioural patterns change. This may require retraining, or rebuilding, of the AI system over time.
3) Protect & Scale against Government Regulations: AI regulations could change at a rapid pace as AI
technology advances. Non-compliance could lead to costly audits or fines, but by adopting responsible
AI principles, it is more likely that organisation will be able to adapt and comply with any new or
changing government regulations, as they too are likely to be built on similar (if not the same) responsible
approaches to AI.
There is no single guide or definition for ‘Responsible AI’, but it could be considered as a principles based
approach to the research, design, development, deployment, use, maintenance and governance of AI systems,
across all sectors, that considers the effects (both positive and negative) that AI may have on organisations,
individuals, communities and society at large.
A survey in May 2023 of 439 business executives from across multiple industries participated in a ‘Responsible
AI Index’ 11
which found that:
• 82% of businesses believed they were applying best practice approaches to responsible AI, but on
closer inspection, only 24% were taking deliberate action to ensure their AI systems were developed
and operated responsibly.
• Organisations where the CEO was responsible for driving the company AI strategy had a higher
responsible AI index score, but only 34% of organisations had an AI strategy where the CEO was
personally involved.
The survey authors concluded there was a ‘worrying action gap’ between what organisations thought they
were doing and what they were actually doing to ensure their use of AI was safe and that ‘the results suggest
businesses may be struggling to know how to practically implement responsible AI principles’.
To support the implementation of responsible AI practices, several universities now offer comprehensive
training for business leaders such as the University of Sydney one day course on ‘Ethical AI : From Principles to
Practice’ 12
, or the MIT three day course on ‘Ethics of AI’ 13
. However the University of Helsinki offers two free
courses on the basics of AI and AI Ethics, which can be a useful starting point for all business leaders.

• University of Helsinki : Ethics of AI (https://ethics-of-ai.mooc.fi)
As interest in AI is exploding around the world, many intergovernmental organisations and countries are
also now developing (or have developed), ethical AI principles and frameworks, but there is no universally
agreed ‘global standard’ for the responsible use of AI at this time, as each of these approaches applies a
slightly different emphases on issues such as fairness, the moral use of AI, data ethics or citizen privacy.
A 2023 study by UNIDIR (United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research) to explore the military use of AI,
mapped the responsible AI principles adopted by 26 UN Member States and 11 intergovernmental organisations
in an effort to define a common taxonomy for responsible AI. They found 26 different principles across the
group they examined, with the 5 most common responsible AI principles to be Impartibility, Explainability,
Inclusiveness, Safety and Human Oversight, Judgement or Control, but with some regional differences.
UNIDIR study into ‘Responsible AI’ principles 14
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) was the first intergovernmental
organisation to issue recommendations for countries to promote the innovative and trustworthy use of AI
15
. Their non-binding recommendations were adopted by the 38 OECD Member States in May 2019 and in June
2019 the leaders of the G20 countries ‘welcomed’ the OECD recommendation at the G20 Summit in Japan 16
,
stating that “the responsible development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be a driving force to help
advance the UN SDGs and to realise a sustainable and inclusive society. To foster public trust and confidence
in AI technologies and fully realise their potential, we commit to a human-centered approach to AI, and
welcome the non-binding G20 AI Principles, drawn from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) Recommendation on AI.”
The OECD recommendation identified five principles for the responsible stewardship of trustworthy AI,
along with five policy recommendations
AI Principles
1) Inclusive growth, sustainable development and well-being
2) Human-centred values and fairness
3) Transparency and explainability
4) Robustness, security and safety
5) Accountability
AI Policy Recommendations
1) Investing in AI research and development
2) Fostering a digital ecosystem for AI
3) Shaping an enabling policy environment for AI
4) Building human capacity and preparing for labour market transformation
5) International co-operation for trustworthy AI

Governments that have embraced the OECD and G20 AI Principles
The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has also championed the protection of
human rights and dignity with AI. In 2021 their 193 Member States adopted the UNSECO recommendations
on the ethical use of AI 17
, with the UNESCO Assistant Director General for Social & Human Sciences, Gabriela
Ramos stating “AI technology brings major benefits in many areas, but without ethical guardrails, it risks
reproducing real world biases and discrimination, fuelling divisions and threatening fundamental human
rights and freedoms”. The UNESCO ethical recommendations include four core values and ten principles:
While values and principles are crucial to establishing any ethical AI framework, recent AI developments have
emphasised the need to move beyond high-level beliefs and towards practical strategies. UNESCO therefore
also include 11 ‘Policy Action Areas’ to translate the ethical recommendations into tangible action and
UNESCO committed to support 50 countries in 2023 to design their national ethical AI policies based on
the UNESCO recommendations.
11. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 11
UNESCO has also formed a Business Council for AI Ethics, which is co-chaired by Microsoft and Telefonica for
Ibero-America18
. This will promote and support the implementation of the recommendations on the ethics of
AI with the private sector. Specific activities include the exchange of experiences and perspectives between
a multi-stakeholder community, the use of ethical impact assessment tools, the generation and sharing of
knowledge on the responsible use of AI, and the dissemination of awareness campaigns focused on the UNESCO
Ethical Recommendations.
Natasha Crampton, Microsoft Chief Responsible AI Officer said “AI has the potential to transform societies
around the world, and it’s essential that we guide this technology proactively toward outcomes that are
beneficial, equitable, and inclusive. To do this, we need to bring together experiences and perspectives across
societies to better inform decisions around the responsible development and use of AI. We are looking forward
to partnering with UNESCO on this vital global effort”
UNESCO AI Policy Action Areas
UNESCO will also support countries by using an ‘AI Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM)’ which will
assess a country’s legal, social, cultural, scientific, educational, technical and infrastructural AI capacities and
alignment with the UNESCO AI ethical recommendations. UNESCO has been publishing the details of these
country assessments in an ‘AI Ethics and Governance Observatory’ from 202419
which is an online transparency
portal for the latest data and analysis on the ethical development and use of AI around the world, and a platform
for sharing examples and best practices.
A fellow UN agency, the UNDP (UN Development Programme) also observed that many governments around
the world are engaged in a continual, never ending game of catch up with technological developments. The
UNDP is therefore supporting developing countries with their digital transformation, including for AI. They
are conducting this in partnership with another UN agency, the ITU (International Telecommunications Union),
to combine the UNDP’s extensive country presence, with ITU’s technical expertise.
In 2023, UNDP launched an ‘AI Readiness Assessment’ 20
as a set of tools that enable governments to get an
overview of their AI readiness across various sectors. The framework is focused on the dual roles of governments
as 1) facilitators of technological advancement and 2) users of AI in the public sector. The assessment also
prioritises AI ethical considerations from the UNESCO recommendations. The UNDP aims to support countries
so they may implement AI powered technologies at population scale, which will enable them to meet
national priorities and contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
12. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 12
Another framework, the 2022 Government AI Readiness Index 21
, from Oxford Insights, assessed 181 countries
readiness to implement AI in the delivery of public services and found that the top five countries were the U.S.,
Singapore, UK, Finland and Canada, with all of those countries already embracing AI for government public
services.
But it is not only the AI technology industry, individual countries and intergovernmental organisations that are
establishing responsible AI principles and approaches – so are religious leaders.
In January 2023, religious leaders from the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths met at the Vatican in Rome to
sign a Charter on AI Ethics, known as the ‘Rome Call’ 22
, alongside technology companies including Microsoft
and IBM.
Signing of the ‘Rome Call for AI Ethics’ 23
Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life said, “we have gathered with our
Jewish and Muslim brothers in an event of great importance to call upon the world to think and act in the
name of brotherhood and peace – even in the field of technology”.
13. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 13
Pope Francis renewed his interest in the ethical development of artificial intelligence, stating: “I am glad to
know that you also want to involve the other great world religions and men and women of goodwill so that
“algor-ethics”, that is ethical reflection on the use of algorithms, be increasingly present not only in the public
debate, but also in the development of technical solutions. Every person, in fact, must be able to enjoy human
and supportive development, without anyone being excluded”. On 1st January 2024, Pope Francis dedicated his
‘World Day of Peace’ message to AI, where he called for “the global community of nations to work together in
order to adopt a binding international treaty that regulates the development and use of artificial intelligence in
its many forms” and released a short video on AI and Peace24
.
The ‘Rome Call’ contains six ethical principles and is also currently being considered by Eastern religious
leaders.
Rome Call for AI Ethics 20
As has been shown in this chapter there is considerable on going activity in the safe and responsible
development of AI, with strategic interest ranging from the Pope, to the UN Secretary General, with a large (and
increasing) array of voluntary ethical, responsible and trustworthy AI principles developed in both the public
and private sectors, but no universal agreement on a common set of principles at this time. WTTC therefore
recommends Travel & Tourism organisations considering AI in their business should use any of the above
frameworks best suited to their organisation, whilst WTTC advocates in parallel for international agreement
to a common set of responsible AI principles.
But whilst this may align the world on the correct use of AI, there is also a challenge to define “who is responsible”
for safe AI (also covered in the accompanying WTTC report on ‘AI in Action’) and the issue of liability for any
misuse, or negative consequences that could result from using an AI system. Should liability for damage, or
harm, be with the AI software programmer, the AI system manufacturer, the business running the AI system, an
individual user, or another party?
This question, sometimes called the ‘responsibility gap’, is unresolved at this time and being considered by AI
and legal experts around the world, but is especially important in safety critical scenarios (such as AI powered
driverless cars). For example, in some countries where there are laws for self-driving vehicles, the AI’s action (or
inaction) is in most cases the legal responsibility of the vehicle owner/driver, but should a driver be responsible
for the autonomous decisions of a car? Or for more general AI systems that learn from their environment and
adapt over time, the programmer, manufacturer, or operator of an AI system may be unable to fully predict an
AI’s future behaviour as it will be based on many unknown variables. Can they therefore be legally, or morally,
responsible for its actions? Complex legal questions such as these are still being considered by governments
around the world as they develop their regulatory regimes for AI.
14. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 14
AI Strategies & Regulation
AI has captured the attention of the world with its potential to radically transform our economy, our society
and humanity. But there are legitimate concerns about the power of this technology and its potential to be
used to cause harm, rather than good.
Governments around the world are therefore looking at how existing laws and regulations can be applied to AI
and considering if new legal frameworks are required.
At the international level, as previously mentioned in this report, some countries are calling for a new UN agency
to oversee AI. A UN appointed High Level Advisory Board on AI was therefore formed in 2023 and has issued an
interim report on options for the global governance of AI to the UN Secretary General.
At the national and regional level, governments are also considering how they can encourage and embrace the
economic and social benefits of AI, whilst managing the potential risks through both voluntary guidance and
regulation. There are two main approaches to AI governance being considered by governments at this time.
The first is ‘principles led’ (following the responsible AI approaches discussed in the previous section), while
the second is ‘rules led’ with prescriptive actions that must be taken, with an additional two approaches
to AI regulatory oversight also under consideration. These are either ‘centralised’ through a dedicated
government agency for AI, or ‘decentralised’ with AI oversight responsibilities split between existing
government departments.
In the 2023 AI Index 25
report from the Stanford University Human Centered AI (HAI) faculty, they analysed the
legislative records of 127 countries and found that the number of bills that have been put into law around the
world containing the words “artificial intelligence” has grown from just one a year in 2016, to 37 a year in 2022.
In six years (2016-2022) countries around the world passed 123 AI related laws. A complementary analysis
of the parliamentary records from 81 countries also found that mentions of AI in legislative proceedings had
increased by nearly 6.5x since 2016.
In 2022, legislative bodies in 127 countries passed 37 laws that included the words
“artificial intelligence”. Since 2016, countries have passed 123 AI related bills
These regulations cover a range of issues, from data privacy and security, to algorithmic transparency and
accountability. However despite the recent increase in AI regulatory activity, most government oversight around
the world continues to be through voluntary guidance at this time.

The following table and short descriptions summarise the status of AI oversight in 2023 for a few countries that
have leaned into AI regulation and guidance as they seek to balance their economic, social, and public priorities
with AI innovation.
WTTC has also produced an accompanying document to this report called “Global AI Strategies, Policies &
Regulations” which provides much more detail and will be periodically updated by WTTC to include more
countries and up to date information as the global regulatory environment for AI changes and evolves.

European Union (EU) : Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA)
As part of the EU’s Digital Strategy 26
, the European Union intends to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) and is
advancing an Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA), which is expected to be adopted in early 2024, with a transitional
implementation period that could see it fully enforced 24 months later, with some parts applicable sooner. The
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has also published a roadmap which outlines their vision for the safety
and ethical areas that must be considered for the use of AI in European aviation.. The EU-US Trade & Technology
Council is also developing a voluntary ‘code of conduct’ to guide the responsible development and use of AI
whilst official laws are still being developed on both sides of the Atlantic.
United Kingdom (UK)
The UK believes its existing laws, regulators and courts already address some of the emerging risks posed by
AI (such as discrimination, product safety and consumer rights) and is therefore taking a different approach to
the EU. The UK plans to empower its existing regulators (such as the UK Health & Safety Executive and the UK
Competition & Markets Authority) to come up with tailored, context specific governance approaches that best
suit the way that AI can be used within their sectors. Following a very successful first international AI Safety
Summit, hosted by the UK in November 2023, the UK established an AI Safety Institute (AISI)27
. The Institute
16. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 16
aims to advance the worlds knowledge of AI systems by carefully examining, evaluating and testing new types
of AI to understand what they are capable of. It makes this work widely available to the world, enabling an
effective global response to both the opportunities and risks presented by advanced AI systems
USA
The United States does not currently have a national level framework for regulating AI and is following a similar
path to the UK, with individual US government departments providing recommendations and guidance. However
the White House has published an ‘Executive Order on Safe, Secure & Trustworthy AI’ which commits US Federal
Agencies to a broad range of measures designed to stimulate innovation in AI, as well as a ‘Blueprint for an AI
Bill of Rights’ which offers guidelines for the responsible design and use of AI. In addition, US States (including
Colorado & Illinois) and City governments (including New York) are also pursuing their own AI regulations and
task forces, with AI oversight therefore targeting specific use cases and locations, rather than seeking to regulate
AI technology nationally, or across all industries. Similarly to the UK, the USA has also established a national U.S.
AI Safety Institute (USAISI)28
hosted at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with
a U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium, which brings together more than 200 organisations to develop science
based guidelines and standards for AI measurement and policy.
Canada
Canada was the first country in the world to issue a national AI strategy in 2017, which was updated in 2022 29
.
Also in 2022, the Canadian government introduced Bill C-27, which included the Artificial Intelligence and Data
Act (AIDA). This is still under negotiation in the Canadian Parliament in early 2024 and aims to standardise the
rules regarding the design, development and use of AI across Canada.
China
In 2017 China issued an AI Development Plan 30
which set a goal for the Chinese AI industry to be generating
more than 1 trillion (RMB) annually by 2030, and in mid-2023 China announced it was preparing a national Artificial
IntelligenceLaw.UptothispointChinahasfocussedonAIregulationsrelatingtospecificAIapplications,including
AI regulations for recommendation algorithms and synthetically generated material (such as ‘deepfakes’) and
in 2023 China released draft measure for managing generative AI services 31
. At the provincial and city level,
Shanghai and Shenzhen have also enacted their own local AI regulations.
Japan
In 2016, Japan introduced Society 5.0 which envisions a sustainable and economically successful future for Japan,
powered by advanced technologies such as AI. To achieve this Japan has published seven social principles for
human centric AI and issued its first National AI Strategy in 2019, with updates in 2021 and 2022, to focus on
AI’s ability to tackle pandemics, natural disasters, and climate change. In 2023, Japan also chaired the G7 group
of nations, where the G7 Digital & Technology Ministers endorsed a G7 AI Action Plan to enhance ‘global
interoperability of Trustworthy AI’ and the G7 agreed to convene further discussions on the international
governance of generative AI systems.
Singapore
In 2014 Singapore launched its Smart Nation 32
initiative so that “Singapore will be a nation where people
can live meaningful and fulfilled lives, enabled seamlessly by technology”. Since then, Singapore has made
significant investments in AI research and development, surpassing many other countries in AI spending as a
percentage of GDP. A National AI Office oversees the delivery of the National AI Strategy, which focuses on the
deployment of AI in seven specific sectors. Singapore has also launched an ‘AI Verify’ Framework & Toolkit which
enables companies to measure and demonstrate their responsible AI practices, ensuring transparency, fairness,
and accountability in their AI systems.

World Travel & Tourism Council 17
Australia
The Australian Government is backing critical and emerging technologies to strengthen Australia’s future,
including a focus on AI. The Australian AI Action Plan published in 2021 (prior to the national election) was
archived by the new incoming government and a new consultation on Safe & Responsible AI was issued. In early
2024 the government published its interim response to the consultation which proposed a risk based approach
to regulating AI and an advisory group to support the development of options for mandatory safeguards in high
risk scenarios. Australia has also issued a voluntary AI Ethics Framework and in 2023 established a ‘Responsible AI
Network’. At the state level, New South Wales (NSW), which contains the cities of Syndey and Melbourne, has
also issued an AI strategy and implemented an AI assurance framework for NSW government agencies.
Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)
A Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) 33
was first announced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron at the 2018 G7 Summit in Canada as an international and multi-
stakeholder initiative to support cutting edge research and applied activities for AI priorities, which includes the
responsible development and use of AI. It was officially launched in 2020, with 15 founding member countries
and brings together experts from governments, industry, academia and civil society. In 2023, this had grown to
28 countries, plus the EU and more than 100 experts.

The GPAI is hosted with a permanent secretariat at the OECD in Paris, who oversees a GPAI Council and GPAI
Steering Committee. The GPAI Council are Ministers from all of the member countries and provides strategic
direction to the GPAI, whilst the GPAI Steering Committee is an elected body comprised of five government
and six non-government representatives, who develop the work plans and establish the working groups and is
supported by a Multistakeholder Expert Group (MEG).
The GPAI is also supported by two Centres of Excellence, in Montreal and Paris, which facilitate the working
groups with their research and practical projects. The two Centres of Excellence are CEIMIA (International
Centre of Expertise in Montreal for the Advancement of AI) in Canada and INRIA (French National Institute for
Research in Digital Science & Technology) in France.
18. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 18
The working groups are initially focussed on four themes, which are:
Responsible AI 34
(Montreal) Future of Work 35
(Paris)
Data Governance 36
(Montreal) Innovation & Commercialisation 37
(Paris)
Global Partnership on AI Structure
The 2022 GPAI annual report 38
states that “during this time of escalating geopolitical tensions and economic
instability, countries cannot afford to withdraw and make their own rules. We need a united front, and we
need to speak with one voice on AI”. The annual report also made 12 recommendations for GPAI members in
2023, under four pillars which are to:
1. Initiate practical actions that can responsibly leverage the potential of AI to advance the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG’s)
2. Nurture and adopt participatory governance tools that support the inclusion of communities impacted
by AI systems (from AI design to deployment)
3. Steer emerging technical frontiers towards the public interest and the protection of rights
4. Support broader access to the economic benefits of AI and data technologies
Trust in Generative AI Global Challenge
In July 2023 a ‘Global Challenge to Build Trust in the Age of Generative AI’ 39
was jointly launched by GPAI,
OECD, UNESCO, IEEE Standards Association, AI Commons (a partnership of AI stakeholders focussed on bringing
the benefits of AI to everyone) and VDE (a technology company focussed on science, standards and testing).
Over a two year period, the challenge aims to bring together technologists, policy makers, researchers, experts
and AI practitioners to propose and test innovative ideas that promote trust in generative AI systems and
counter the potential spread of disinformation which could be enhanced by generative AI tools. The challenge
hopes to provide tangible evidence about what works and promote approaches that could be implemented
and scaled around the world.
19. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 19
AI Industry Voluntary Governance Measures
While governments around the world develop their laws and regulations for AI, the private sector has also
developed a series of voluntary guardrails, organisations and approaches.
The World Ethical Data Foundation has over 25,000 individuals as members, from a variety of technology
companies and has produced a voluntary framework for AI developers to use when making AI products and
services 40
. The framework contains a checklist of 84 questions to guide the development of safe and
responsible AI solutions. For example, the framework helps developers to consider the data protection laws
of various countries and whether it is clear to the user of an AI system that they are interacting with AI. Some
example questions from the framework include:
• Is there any protected or copyrighted material in the training data such as Personally Identifiable
Information (PII), Payment Card Industry (PCI) data, and Protected Health Information (PHI)?
• Is the team of people who are working on selecting the training data from a diverse set of backgrounds
and experiences to help reduce the bias in the data selection?
• What are the possible dangers of the model? Is there a plan for the worst case scenarios?
Other groups are emerging too. MLCommons41
is a collaborative organisation of engineers and scientists
working together to make AI machine learning systems better for everyone and the Partnership for AI (PAI)
42
is a collection of industry, academic, civil society and media organisations working together to share insights
and develop actionable guidance material which can be used to inform government policy and advance public
understanding of AI. The Partnership for AI group comprises of more than 100 organisations from 17 countries
and is organised into five workstreams. In 2023, Microsoft joined PAI’s collective action promoting responsible
practices in the development, creation and sharing of media generated by AI – often called synthetic media43
.
This first of a kind effort was prompted by a belief among many industry experts that the evolving landscape
of AI generated media represents a new and exciting frontier for creativity and expression, but also holds
the troubling potential for misinformation and manipulation if left unchecked. Eric Horvitz, Microsoft Chief
Scientific Officer said “We applaud and support PAI’s initiative to build a strong, collaborative community
dedicated to protecting the public from malicious actors who aim to manipulate, sow discord, and to erode
trust in the digital information we consume.”44
The ‘Safety Critical AI’ workstream is developing an AI Incident Database (AID), to track when AI systems fail
and aims to be a useful global repository of problems experienced in the real world as a result of using AI. This
can help to better anticipate and manage future risks.
20. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 20
Partnership for AI : AI Incident Database (AID)
The Partnership for AI is also developing ‘Shared Protocols for the Responsible Deployment of Large Language
Models (LLMs)’ which is the underlying technology powering sophisticated AI chatbots (such as Microsoft
Copilot and Google Gemini). These protocols will be an outcome from their ‘Global Task Force for Inclusive AI’
45
which was supported at the 2023 Summit for Democracy by the Director of the US White House Office for
Science & Technology (OSTP) 46
who said ‘this will be a first of its kind coalition, with partners from the private
sector, academia, and civil society, focused on developing research and design methods for AI that will root
out algorithmic discrimination, safeguard rights, and promote equitable innovation. This global task force
responds to the call of the AI Bill of Rights, and we’re happy to see this important work getting underway’.
The White House and US President have also held meetings with the AI Industry and in July 2023, the White
House and seven leading AI companies (including WTTC industry members, Microsoft and Google) agreed to
voluntary measures that would help manage the risks of AI and move towards the safe, secure and transparent
development of AI systems 47
. In September 2023, eight other companies agreed to join the voluntary measures,
including WTTC industry member IBM. As part of this agreement the companies committed to (among other
measures):
• Security test their AI systems (by internal and external experts) before their release
• Ensure that people can spot AI by implementing watermarks
• Publicly report AI capabilities and limitations on a regular basis
• Research the risks such as bias, discrimination and the invasion of privacy
The White House noted that one of the aims of the voluntary agreement was to make it easy for people to
tell when content is created by AI, with ‘watermarking’ of AI generated content also an important topic for the
EU, with EU Commissioner Thierry Breton tweeting after the announcement that he was looking forward to
“pursuing discussion – notably on watermarking”. In late 2023 the White House also issued an Executive Order
on AI and is pursuing legislative options to help America lead the way in responsible AI innovation.
21. RESPONSIBLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
World Travel & Tourism Council 21
A week after the White House and AI industry voluntary agreement was announced, four AI companies
(Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and Anthropic) launched the ‘Frontier Model Forum’ 48,49
as the founding members
of a new industry body that will focus on the safe and responsible development of ‘frontier AI models’, which
they defined as ‘large-scale machine-learning models that exceed the capabilities currently present in the
most advanced existing models, and can perform a wide variety of tasks’.
The Frontier Model Forum’s four core objectives are to:
1. Advance AI safety research
2. Identify best practices (for the development & implementation of frontier AI models)
3. Collaborate with policy makers, academics, businesses & civil society (to share knowledge about trust
and safety risks)
4. Support AI applications that can address the world’s greatest challenges (such as climate change, early
cancer detection and combating cyber threats)
The Frontier Model Forum50,51
has appointed Chris Meserole as its first Executive Director who comes to the
role with deep expertise in technology policy, governance and safety having most recently served as Director
of AI & Emerging Technologies at the Brookings Institution.
In October 2023, the Frontier Model Forum also announced a new AI Safety Fund, of more than $10 million
(USD) to promote research in the field of AI safety. The AI Safety Fund will support independent researchers
from around the world affiliated with academic institutions, research institutions, and startups. The initial funding
comes from Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, with additional philanthropic donations from the Patrick
J. McGovern Foundation, the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, Eric Schmid, and Jaan Tallinn. Together this
amounts to over $10 million (USD) in initial funding.
The voluntary AI commitments made at the White House, included a pledge to facilitate third-party discovery
and reporting of vulnerabilities in AI systems. The AI Safety Fund is therefore an important part of fulfilling that
commitment by providing the external community with funding to better evaluate and understand frontier
systems.
The primary focus of the fund will be to support the ‘red teaming’ of AI models which will help develop
and test evaluation techniques for the potentially dangerous capabilities of frontier systems. Red Teaming is an
ethical attempt to ‘play the enemy’ and simulate the tactics and techniques of those who may attempt to use
AI for wrong and dangerous reasons. The members of the Frontier Model Forum believe that funding in this
area is critical to raising safety and security standards for AI systems. It will also provide valuable insights into
the mitigation and control measures that industry, governments, and civil society may need to adopt for very
advanced AI systems.
The Fronter Model Forum also committed to continue working with other collaborative organisations such as
the ‘Partnership for AI’ and ‘MLCommons’, and plans to feed its work into other government and multilateral
activities such as UN AI initiatives, OECD work on AI risks and the G7 recommendations on AI, which includes
a voluntary Code of Conduct 52
for AI developers and International Guiding Principles on AI 53
which were
adopted by the G7 countries in late 2023.
