These are Some of the Top Companies Involved in the Future of AI Governance September 26, 2023 - Baystreet.ca With the advent of artificial intelligence, there’s a growing, desperate need for AI governance. After all, with such powerful technology, we’ll need a way to manage any potential risks. That’s because, according to Time.com, “The impacts of AI will be felt far beyond the borders of the countries in which it is developed.” It’s also why groups, such as the United Nations are meeting to discuss the need for governance framework. Even companies, such as VERSES AI (CBOE: VERS) (OTCQX: VRSSF) will also hold a series of webinars – “The Future of AI Governance” – to dig into the need for governance. After all, while AI could help create an incredible future, it could also carry a good deal of threats, too. For instance, as noted by the United Nations, “Jack Clark, Co-founder of Anthropic, noted that, although AI can bring huge benefits, it also poses threats to peace, security and global stability due to its potential for misuse and its unpredictability — two essential qualities of AI systems. For example, while an AI system can improve understanding of biology, it can also be used to construct biological weapons. Further, once developed and deployed, people identify new and unanticipated uses for such systems.” Aside from VERSES AI, other top companies involved in the AI story include Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE: VERS) (OTCQX: VRSSF) Stands to Benefit VERSES AI Inc., a cognitive computing company specializing in the next generation of artificial intelligence, announces the first of three webinars in the series, “The Future of AI Governance,” hosted by Dentons US. The first webinar in the series will take place on Thursday, September 28th at 10AM PST / 1PM EST / 7PM CET. To register for the event or to access the "The Future of AI Global Governance” and its companion piece “Executive Summary” visit: www.verses.ai/ai- governance. “The Future of AI Governance” webinar series marks a step forward in sharing the conclusions of the AI industry report, which offers its perspective on global governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and combines the legal expertise of a global law firm, Dentons, the AI acumen of VERSES and guidance on socio-technical standards from the Spatial Web Foundation. The Company believes that socio-technical standards could set the stage for enabling compliant, explainable and auditable behavior of smart devices and systems. “We are thrilled to collaborate with VERSES and the Spatial Web Foundation on this webinar series. We hope this platform provides a new way of thinking about AI regulation and policy insights for key stakeholders as they wrestle with the right path forward on AI regulation,” said Peter Stockburger, Partner at Dentons US LLP. Part one of the three-part webinar series, “Policy,” will be moderated by Eric Tanenblatt, Global Chair of Public Policy and Regulation for Dentons. Speakers will include George Percivall, Distinguished Engineering Fellow and Vice-Chair of IEEE Standards Working Group for the Spatial Web; Gabriel Rene´, CEO and Founder of VERSES and Philippe Sayegh, Chief Adoption Officer for VERSES. The report proposes an international rating system for autonomous intelligent systems in an attempt to curb a potential blind spot in regulatory efforts which are focused more on the commercial activities of AI developers than the underlying mechanisms of AI systems. The primary goal of the report is to provide governments, regulators and legislators with a pragmatic tool and framework that informs a roadmap for future policymaking and compliance. “We must address the challenge of governing potentially self-regulating AI to ensure alignment with human values and prevent likely risks. We believe that implementing global socio-technical standards and establishing an international AI regulatory sandbox will help industry participants in harnessing the benefits of AI while safeguarding against its potential perils," stated VERSES CEO, Gabriel Rene´.
