Forging a Positive AI Mindset

Standards incorporating desired societal and ethical outcomes serve as a foundational framework for developing, deploying, and regulating AI systems. Gone are the days where performance, cost, and scalability were given priority over sustainability and trustworthiness. The future of IT, including AI, requires that we simultaneously deal with all these considerations.

As long as we can embrace collaboration, bringing all voices on board, we can help steer the technology for the betterment of humankind.

We need a diverse range of expert inputs covering various geographies, industries, and roles, with everyone across the AI ecosystem involved in the process of setting standards. International Standards play an important role as the interface between technological possibilities and societal expectations. This will provide a robust foundation for the equitable development of AI.

With this philosophy in mind, our AI experts are leveraging the full tool set of the ISO system to develop standards that will ensure the widest and most responsible adoption of AI. We need to continue working closely with other international organizations, regulators, policymakers, and end users in a collaborative and cohesive ecosystem.

Looking into the future

International Standards offer a framework for creating and developing responsible, resilient AI systems based on the input and voices of all stakeholders. Standards help to foster interoperability, safety, and transparency across AI applications, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible, comprehensible, and meaningful to everyone.

As with any new technology or groundbreaking product, there are inflection points as development and adoption progress. It’s precisely at these points that ISO and its peers have a real opportunity to make a tangible, positive impact.

However, someone has to pay for this content. And that’s where advertising comes in. Most people consider ads a nuisance, but they do serve a useful function besides allowing media companies to stay afloat. They keep you aware of new products and services relevant to your industry. All ads in Quality Digest apply directly to products and services that most of our readers need. You won’t see automobile or health supplement ads.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—and that’s something to marvel at. AI is powering everything from advanced web searches to social media recommendations and video game design. But it could do infinitely more.

Imagine if the advances we’ve seen in AI during the last year had happened even half a decade ago. Could it have accelerated the development of coronavirus vaccines? Could it have averted the global economic downturn we experienced this year? Questions and potential scenarios like these lend credence to the argument that it could be unethical not to develop AI.

The applications of AI are vast and varied. To ensure the standards we develop are fit for purpose, we need an international ecosystem that includes diverse organizational perspectives and reflects the multiple ways in which the technology will be used.

If it’s developed ethically and responsibly, AI could help to usher in a new era of innovation and inclusion. This cutting-edge technology could be used to make our world safer and better, opening up possibilities that seemed like science fiction just a few years ago.
