We're thrilled to invite you to our upcoming consultations on how to regulate Artificial Intelligence! This event will take place in person and online, while the UN is hosting the Summit of the Future, a summit supposed to get the world ready to tackle challenges - that is unlikely to deliver concrete steps forward to regulate this tech, nor to include the voice of citizens. We are here to change this:
🗓️ Sunday, September 22nd
🕰️ 2 pm NYC, 6 pm UTC, 7 pm Abuja, 8 pm Paris, 11.30 pm Delhi
🎙️ Speakers will include Anna Christmann, member of the United Nations High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence, Santiago Garces, CIO of the City of Boston, Christine Keung, General Partner at J2 Ventures, and Colombe Cahen-Salvador, co-founder of Atlas & UNSG candidate
📍CRE8IVE NYC, Space 1-2 , 134 West 29th Street, New York City, USA
🎥 Digital participation will be via Zoom (register for the link)
Remember, artificial Intelligence is already impacting every aspect of our lives. For example, from May to December 2023, 1,000% more websites have posted AI-created fake articles, influencing elections and trust. AI is not like other technologies. Its potential is infinite, both in the good and the bad. However, just like other technologies that know no borders, it must be regulated globally to be curtailed.
As such, we are hosting a grassroots consultation to hear from the people of New York and the World what they want the United Nations to do when it comes to regulating artificial intelligence. Through a three-hour-long event, we will learn, debate, and agree on a set of recommendations democratically. But it won’t stop there, the Atlas team will advocate for it!
This conversation will enable Atlas to develop further its programme for the United Nations Secretary-General Selection Process, that our co-founder Colombe is running in. The event will start with an opening panel, and will then be focused on you and your ideas: we will work together to come up with solutions!
And of course, don't hesitate to send me all your questions ahead of the event.
Best,
Andrea
