The Indian Society of International Law organised a 'Round Table Consultation on Artificial Intelligence'.
The nimble penetration of Artificial Intelligence (AI ) in our everyday life is no secret. Knowingly or not, a good chunk of the population world-wide experiences it directly, thanks to the apace innovation and development by technical giants such as Google and Apple. However, owing to its dark potential, often the argument goes that AI usage should be limited or best, stopped. Rather, I believe that it has become a shibboleth that the Artificial Intelligence industry can be halted, or reversed. Hence, a step forward from here should be its regulation and formalisation instead of a total halt.
Keeping this in mind, the Indian Society of International Law organised a ‘Round Table Consultation on Artificial Intelligence’. The discussion panel consisted of a galaxy of participants representing the various perspectives of society. It began with Chief Justice (Rajasthan High Court) S. Ravindra Bhat’s address which set the agenda of the day’s proceeding.
As the discussion progressed, various facets explaining its application in diverse fields were expressed. This included the market perspective to its usage in cyber-diplomacy, to its utilisation in medical diagnosis etc.
IIT Delhi Computer Science Professor, Subashis Banerjee, having more than 30 years of experience shared his experience of using AI in modelling a self-driving car in the University Campus. He even mentioned collaborating with the International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ) to address certain ethical aspects of the same.
This was followed by the representatives of the Government of India – Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and Ministry of External Affairs ) – addressing the panel about the steps taken by the government in integrating AI’s usage in governance. According to them, the Prime Minister has been actively urging all the members of the cabinet to increase research in AI to provide maximum benefit to the citizenry.
