Hub AI and society

Artificial Intelligence is a key technology that can help us solve major societal challenges such as climate change, energy supply, healthcare, education or logistics. AI can solve specific problems more effectively by supporting us in decision-making, automating solutions and thus scaling them, or discovering completely new solutions. But the use of AI also poses new risks, for example when it comes to surveillance or questions of social justice.

What is our society doing with AI – and what is AI doing to our society? We shed light on this question in our AI and Society Content Hub.

Breton's discussions with Zuckerberg suggested alignment with the EU's risk-based approach to AI regulation, including measures such as watermarking.

Altman expressed appreciation for the EU's serious approach to AI regulation and said OpenAI's goal is to work in line with the European market, including on watermarking to make AI content traceable.

The Recording Academy has updated its Grammy Awards rules and guidelines for the 2024 Grammys, addressing the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the music industry. Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy, reveals that AI music and content will be allowed for submission, but awards will only be given to human creators who have made a creative contribution in the appropriate categories. The decision comes after an AI-generated song featuring the voices of "Drake" and "the Weeknd" went viral.

If there's an AI voice singing the song or AI instrumentation, we'll consider it. But in a songwriting-based category, it has to have been written mostly by a human.

AI expert Mustafa Suleyman, founder of Deepmind and Inflection.ai, argues in his forthcoming book that the Turing Test is outdated. Instead, he proposes a new benchmark focused on "artificial capable intelligence" (ACI), which measures an AI's ability to perform complex tasks independently. His test is to task an AI with generating a $1 million profit from a $100,000 investment through e-commerce. He predicts that within two years, AI will create and sell products autonomously, with significant economic implications.
