Eminent technology experts hailing from India
have been named to a new global advisory body announced by UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres to support the international community’s efforts to govern artificial
intelligence.
The High-Level Multistakeholder Advisory Body on
Artificial Intelligence, announced by the UN Chief here Thursday, brings
together experts from government, the private sector, the research community,
civil society, and academia, and is focused on building a global scientific consensus
on risks and
challenges, helping harness AI for the Sustainable Development Goals, and
strengthening international cooperation on AI governance, a
statement said.
Among the members of the advisory body are the
Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology Amandeep Singh Gill; co-founder of
iSPIRT Foundation, a non-profit technology think tank that has conceptualised
India Stack, Health Stack, and other digital public goods Sharad Sharma and Lead
Researcher at Hugging Face, India Nazneen Rajani.

My Take :
UN Agency for AI ? Arriving as envisaged… …………….16 July 2023
Extract :
Dear Mr
James Cleverly,
Congratulations for your initiative . I hope the discussions in the Security
Council
will result into a Regulatory Frame-work as
proposed in my following blog .
To facilitate a meaningful and DECISIVE discussion , I urge you to
forward this
suggestion to all the Members of the Security Council
My Suggestion :
United Nations Agency for
Regulating Artificial Intelligence ( UNARAI ) . 30 May 2023
Extract :
AI Regulation
Framework – UNARAI
A. Past History of AI
The history of artificial intelligence (AI) can be traced back to the
early days of computing, when Alan Turing first proposed the idea of a machine
that could think like a human. In the decades that followed, AI research made
significant progress, but it was not until the 1990s that AI began to be used
in practical applications. The development of deep learning in the early 2010s
led to a new wave of AI innovation, and today AI is being used in a wide range
of fields, including healthcare, transportation, and finance.
B. Current Status of AI Industry
The AI industry is growing rapidly, and the global market for AI is
expected to reach $190 billion by 2025. The United States is the leading market
for AI, followed by China and Europe. The AI industry is dominated by a few
large companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. However, there are
also a number of smaller companies that are developing innovative AI
technologies.
C. Major Players / Companies
The following are some of the major players in the AI industry:
· Google
· Microsoft
· Amazon
· IBM
· Baidu
· Alibaba
· Tencent
· Nvidia
· Intel
· OpenAI
These companies are developing a wide range of AI technologies,
including natural language processing, machine learning, and computer vision.
They are also using AI to develop new products and services, such as
self-driving cars, virtual assistants, and fraud detection systems.
D. Future Outlook
The future of AI is bright. AI is expected to have a major impact on a
wide range of industries, including healthcare, transportation, and finance. AI
is also expected to create new jobs and opportunities.
E. Industries that will witness major
disruption
The following industries are expected to witness major disruption from
AI:
· Healthcare
· Transportation
· Finance
· Retail
· Manufacturing
· Education
· Customer service
· Security
AI is expected to automate many tasks in these industries, and it is
also expected to create new products and services.
F. Jobs that might disappear
The following jobs are at risk of disappearing due to AI:
· Data entry clerks
· Customer service
representatives
· Truck drivers
· Factory workers
· Insurance agents
· Loan officers
· Lawyers
· Doctors
· Teachers
AI is not going to disappear all of these jobs, but it is likely to
automate many of them. This means that people who work in these jobs will need
to retrain for new jobs that are not at risk of being automated.
G. Potential for Benefitting Humanity
AI has the potential to benefit humanity in a number of ways, including:
· Improving
healthcare
· Reducing traffic
congestion
· Preventing fraud
· Personalizing
education
· Making customer
service more efficient
· Improving
security
AI is still in its early stages of development, but it has the potential
to make a major positive impact on the world.
H. Potential for Harming Humanity
AI also has the potential to harm humanity in a number of ways,
including:
· Creating mass
unemployment
· Increasing
inequality
· Being used for
military purposes
· Being used for
surveillance
· Being used to
spread misinformation
It is important to be aware of the potential risks of AI, and to develop
policies and regulations that will mitigate these risks.
I. Conceptual Framework for UNARAI
UNARAI, or the United Nations Agency for Regulating Artificial Intelligence, is a
proposed international organization that would be responsible for regulating AI.
UNARAI would be composed of representatives from all member states of the
United Nations, and it would have the authority to develop and enforce
regulations on the development, use, and sale of AI technologies.
UNARAI would be guided by a set of principles that would be designed to
promote the safe and responsible development of AI. These principles would
include:
· The principle of human control:
AI technologies
should be developed and used in a way that respects human autonomy and control.
· The principle of non-discrimination:
AI
technologies should not be used to discriminate against individuals or groups
of people.
· The principle of transparency:
AI technologies
should be transparent and accountable to the public.
· The principle of safety:
AI technologies should
be safe and secure, and they should not pose a threat to human safety or
security.
UNARAI would have a number of tools at its disposal to regulate AI. These tools
would include:
· Regulations:
UNARAI would be able to develop and enforce regulations on the development,
use, and sale of AI
technologies.
· Standards:
UNARAI would be able to develop and promote standards for the development
and use of AI technologies.

A feeble echo from US President :
Biden
to sign executive order expanding capabilities for government to monitor AI
risks . Hill / 28 Oct 2023
Extract :
President
Biden is expected to sign an executive order that will
monitor the risks of artificial intelligence and develop new rules for the
technology, Politico first reported.
The order will put checks on AI, directing agencies to set
standards ensuring data privacy, among other priorities, for the
rapidly evolving technology.
AI reflects the principles of the people that
build it, the people that use it and the data upon which it was built, Biden’s
order said.
Congress has tried to put legislation together
to tackle the risks of AI but nothing comprehensive has been introduced yet.
The order will also appoint a White House AI Council chaired by the White House Deputy
Chief of Staff for Policy and representatives from each major agency to oversee
the federal government’s AI activities.
The order would also :
Ø Grant the White
House authority to keep tabs on the private sector development of AI systems
Ø Mandate companies to
submit reports on how they train and test models
Ø How they plan to
protect the technology from foreign adversaries to the government.

Advice to the UN Secretary-General |
|
Focus |
Regulating AI to promote the safe and responsible
development of AI |
Providing independent advice to the
Secretary-General on the international governance of AI |
Overall, UNARAI is a more ambitious proposal than HLMABAI.
It would be a new international organization with the authority to develop and
enforce regulations on AI.
HLMABAI, on the other hand, is an advisory body that will provide
recommendations to the UN Secretary-General.
It is important to note that UNARAI is still a proposal, and it is not clear if it will
be established.
However, the fact that the UN Secretary-General has established HLMABAI
suggests that there is growing
