AI Safety Summit in Seoul on the 21st,
, ‘The two-day artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit in South Korea starting on the 21st is expected to provide an opportunity to discuss ethical issues of AI, in connection with recent technological innovations in the AI industry such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Jeminai. There are also expectations that the outcomes of this summit will have a significant impact on AI governance.’,
, ‘In an article titled “Can the leapfrogging industry (AI industry) in Seoul strike a balance between advancement and safety?” the UK newspaper The Guardian emphasized, “The (summit) meeting in Seoul will likely be the final opportunity to discuss what it means to the world before the dawn of a world where AI is commercialized.”‘,
, ‘Recently, major announcements in the AI industry have followed, with advancements such as the fast-enhanced response speed and capability of generative AI GPT-4o from OpenAI, and Google’s dominance in platforms with Jeminai. With the increasing pressure to use AI for commercial purposes and the acceleration in pace, the AI Safety Summit in Seoul is seen as a timely platform to discuss ethical issues related to AI.’,
, ‘The Guardian anticipates that from the end of the year, various new AI technologies across different fields will be commercialized and directly impact our lives.’,
, ‘Recently, the AI industry has been experiencing conflicts between ethical issues, industrial development, and responses to market demands. Wendy Hall, a UN advisory committee member on AI and a computer science professor at the University of Southampton, pointed out to The Guardian, “Governments and safety-related organizations are planning regulations and (big tech) companies are interested in regulations, but due to the companies needing to respond to market pressures, progress on ethical regulations has been slow.”‘,
, ‘Ethical issues of AI are being revealed in various places. Recently, OpenAI has been under scrutiny for considering whether to allow the use of its products to create provocative or violent content. Bloomberg previously reported that OpenAI had essentially dismantled its safety team researching AI dangers, indicating that commercial considerations were taking precedence in the tech industry.’,
, ‘The AI international conference being held at this point is drawing attention. Following the first AI Safety Summit held in London in November last year, this summit held six months later is attracting attention. On the first day of this summit, President Yoon and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the UK virtually met, and on the second day, science and technology ministers gathered to discuss relevant issues. This summit is an informal summit held between the first summit and the second summit hosted by France.’,
