Inaugural Global AI Safety Summit for a Decentralized AI Strategy
to Protect Individual Liberties and Autonomy in
Cyberspace
Geneva – November 2, 2023 - WISeKey
International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY),
leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things
(IoT) solutions operating as a holding company, today announced
that in cooperation with the OISTE.ORG Foundation are advocating at
the world’s first Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Summit
(“the Summit”) for a decentralized AI strategy to protect
individual liberties and autonomy in cyberspace.
Scheduled for November 1-2, 2023, at Bletchley
Park, the historic site of British World War Two code-breaking
efforts, the Summit aims to confront the rapidly escalating
challenges and risks posed by AI technologies and to initiate an
international conversation on the need for robust regulation.
Following the presentation a few weeks before at
the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), WISeKey, in
partnership with OISTE.ORG, stresses an urgent call to reassess our
trajectory with AI. https://youtu.be/sAQj81NrC9g
With the over-concentration of AI control
amongst a few tech giants, there’s an imminent risk to individual
data protection and digital rights. WISeKey and OISTE.ORG are
advocating for a decentralized approach to AI that honors
individual freedoms and self-sovereignty in cyberspace, aligning
with local legislations to protect the digital ecosystem.
At this critical juncture in our digital era,
WISeKey and OISTE.ORG emphasizes the need for actions that will
dictate the legacy left for future generations. The development of
AI systems should be integrated within frameworks that honor human
rights, privacy, and the intricate diversity of our global
population. The summit seeks to underline the importance of safety
in the AI lifecycle, particularly for powerful AI systems that pose
potential risks, in particular:
- Identification of AI safety risks
of shared concern and building a collective scientific
understanding.
- Development of risk-based policies
across countries, fostering safety and transparency in AI
advancements.
- Enhancement of public sector
capability and scientific research in AI safety.
- Develop a decentralized approach to
AI that honors individual freedoms and self-sovereignty in
cyberspace, aligning with local legislations to protect the digital
ecosystem.
The Summit will bring together thought leaders,
policymakers, and stakeholders to forge a path towards a digital
future that balances humanity with innovation, ensuring AI is used
for public good – including health, education, food security, and
in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
WISeKey invites participants and the global
community to provide transparent and accountable measures to
monitor and mitigate the potentially harmful effects of AI,
emphasizing the responsibility of those developing frontier AI
capabilities to ensure safety and prevent misuse.
