The draft of the Good AI Global Framework for the Media & Technology industry will be the starting point of this session’s debate. The Media & Technology Committee’s draft paper has mapped out the impact that the 7 Key Requirements for a Trustworthy AI will have on this sector and suggested some concrete and practical steps that businesses operating within this sector must take to become and remain compliant with the 7 Requirements.

The Media & Tech Committee defined the scope of the draft paper according to four main application and use themes in the Media & Tech sector: Automating data capture, automating content generation, automating mediation, and automating communication. Focusing on concrete examples of AI application areas, the Media & Tech Committee discussed the 7 Key Requirements for Trustworthy AI in each individual theme. This, furthermore, stimulated the discussion of possible tensions among the 7 Key Requirements. Within the proposed scope of the Media & Tech sector, the Media & Tech Committee developed guidelines for the implementation of AI systems.

The draft of the Good AI Global Framework for the Banking & Finance industry will be the starting point of this session’s debate. The Banking & Finance Committee’s draft paper has mapped out the impact that the 7 Key Requirements for a Trustworthy AI will have on this sector and suggested some concrete and practical steps that businesses operating within this sector must take to become and remain compliant with the 7 Requirements.
Banking and Finance is an area where AI technology is likely to have a huge impact. Already now most of credit checks, KYC and Anti money laundering decisions are now made by algorithms. Credit scores and therefore credit worthiness tests are also hugely faster and more accurate when carried out by algorithms trained on large data sets based on past decisions and outcomes. Similarly, investing and trading continue to be disrupted by AI. In some markets more trade happens as results of orders put
in by algorithms than by humans. The so-called “fintech revolution” which sees most parts of finance and banking disrupted and re thought, is strongly assisted by AI technologies. Yes, finance is also the most regulated area of business there is, and much of the so called “AI bias” is already covered by  existing regulation. The B&F committee will make recommendations around what areas of existing regulation needs to be strengthen and how, and where new sets of skills and mathematical tools can be used to ensure AI has a positive impact on this important sector.

The draft of the Good AI Global Framework for the Legal Services industry will be the starting point of this session’s debate. The Legal Services Industry Committee’s draft paper has mapped out the impact that the 7 Key Requirements for a Trustworthy AI will have on this sector and suggested some concrete and practical steps that businesses operating within this sector must take to become and remain compliant with the 7 Requirements.

The use of artificial intelligence in the justice system creates significant opportunities to address known shortcomings and failings in the administration of justice, but also poses unique and serious dangers, not only for individual citizens, but the rule of law ideal more  generally. On the one hand, legal systems across the world struggle with high costs of litigation efficient enforcement of rights, and with often unconscionable delays in the administration of justice so that justice delayed does indeed often become justice denied. Here technology can be a force for good. On the other, law often deals with citizens who are in particularly vulnerable conditions, and subject to power and information imbalances the risks that the use of AI in the legal sector creates are not always reducible to risks for individual clients, citizens, victims of crime or suspects. Some of the risks manifest themselves as risks against the conceptual integrity of the legal system, weakening of the rule of law ideal, or our understanding of the relation between citizen and state in a democratic system committed to human rights and the overarching principle of human dignity. Protecting the ideals of open and public adjudication, equality before the law, contestability and transparency of legal decision making are among the challenges that the legal services working group explored.
