SAILS and GTGC organise a joint event on AI & Governance
GTGC-SAILS Joint Event on AI Governance
This special seminar brings together Leiden’s interdisciplinary programmes Global Transformations and Governance Challenges and Society, Artificial Intelligence and Life Sciences (SAILS). Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, with far-reaching consequences for the economy, ecology, geopolitics and society at large. Large practical and ethical issues are at stake, yet the governance of AI is anything but clear: what kind of rules and policies do we need; who is going to take those decisions and by what processes?
This roundtable brings together experts from SAILS, GTGC and the Hague Center for Digital Governance. Panellists will discuss how AI technologies are being used in various fields, what (global) governance challenges they raise, and how they are being handled at various levels.
