AI Governance Alliance (AIGA), one of the initiatives launched by the World Economic Forum (WEF), has released insightful reports about advanced artificial intelligence (AI), coinciding with Davos 2024.
AIGA brings together leaders from businesses, governments, universities and community organizations. Their goal is to support the development and launch of AI systems that are responsible, open and fair for everyone.
Insightful paper series
The reports released by AIGA address several critical areas. In the report “Generative AI Governance: Shaping Our Collective Global Future,” the highlight is on international cooperation. It also urges a more inclusive access to AI — both in terms of development and deployment. The paper further assesses national strategies while discussing debates on generative AI. In addition, it promotes international standards to avoid fragmentation.
Meanwhile, “Unlocking Value from Generative AI: Guidance for Responsible Transformation” guides stakeholders on how to adopt generative AI more responsibly. Particularly, it highlights use case evaluation, multistakeholder governance and transparent communication. The paper also advocates for value-based management for responsible organizational integration.
Lastly, the “Presidio AI Framework: Towards Safe Generative AI Model” underscores the need for a framework that standardizes model lifecycle management. It also focuses on shared responsibility and proactive risk management.
