Organized by: International Society on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies
Concept Note:
The invention of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) has opened a veritable Pandora’s box of opportunities and challenges to the world today. Every significant technological breakthrough in human history has had the potential to either advance or harm society, and these inventions are by no means an exception to this rule. The technology measurement and analytical capacities of systems based on algorithmic decision-making and artificial intelligence can be instrumental in resolving some of the biggest transportation, humanitarian assistance, and public health problems on a global as well as local basis, including but not limited to supporting significant changes in clinical diagnosis and treatment, integrating transport and communal growth, and exacerbating the dangers of climate change. The foremost challenges that we face with artificial intelligence in any sector are the exponential rate at which the sector is being transformed through sophisticated technological development on the one hand, and the comparatively slower rate of evolution of the regulatory regime governing that sector, which essentially lead to the law always trying to catch up with the technological growth. Issues in the digital sphere that were being considered to be emerging or incipient even a couple of years ago have now come to occupy center stage in contemporary discussions. The outcomes of digitalization of any industry can be perceived to bear a functional correlation with the manner in which the sectoral digital technologies are subjected to regulatory governance. At the same time, different regulatory frameworks addressing a variety of questions relating to designing and ownership of the infrastructure, creation, and management of data, generation, and destruction of value through digitalization processes can create radically different outcomes. Digital technology including big data, artificial intelligence, neuro-technology and sensor technology, wireless technologies, and many other forms have today become perhaps the most important factor in the growth of competitiveness of industrial enterprises and the global economy as a whole. With the use of digital technologies and ongoing processes of business digitalization causing production to become more flexible, automated with access to robotics, and competitive in the global economy, the time is ripe to consider how such technologies can be subjected to efficient and ethical regulatory governance, thereby leading to equitable and sustainable societal growth.
Given the pivotal disruptive role being played by AI in extending and augmenting the capabilities of citizens and other stakeholders of the digital ecosystem, it appears crucial to understand and analyze the myriad range of legal dimensions that the usage of AI can give rise to. This conference seeks to provide an opportunity to all the participants to understand various aspects of AI and its uses in conjunction with digital technologies, and to exchange with domain experts various ideas and solutions to existing and potential problems plaguing the industry and the economy. It will also act as a platform for scholars, academicians, professionals, and students from across the globe to come together and discuss the challenges posed by AI to existing legal domains and efficacious regulatory possibilities in the digital domain. In course of this exercise, the participants will also gain insight into the concepts involved from the perspectives of multiple jurisdictions.
