Apple participates along with a number of companies in the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), where studies and analysis related to new technologies and especially in relation to AI are carried out. Today we have a report that describes the principles of AI policy as it relates to industry, governments and agreements between public and private companies.
The document is divided into three parts: Industry Responsibilities to Promote Responsible Use and Development, Opportunities for Governments to Invest in and Promote the AI Ecosystem, and Opportunities between Public-Private Business Agreements
Projections indicate that this new industry will generate between 7.000 and 13.000 million dollars a year starting in 2025. Among the most relevant parts of the document, we can find:
As it evolves, we take our responsibility to be a catalyst in an AI world very seriously, including finding solutions to address potential negative externalities and participate in shaping the jobs of the future.
Regarding the responsibilities of the technology industry:
Responsible design and implementation:
We recognize our responsibility to integrate the principles into the design of artificial intelligence technologies, beyond compliance with existing laws. While the potential benefits to people and society are staggering, AI researchers, subject matter experts, and stakeholders must spend a great deal of time working to ensure the responsible design and deployment of AI systems. AI. Highly autonomous Artificial Intelligence systems must be designed in accordance with international conventions that preserve human dignity, rights, and freedoms. As an industry, it is our responsibility to recognize the potentials for use and misuse, the implications of such actions, and the responsibility and opportunity to take steps to prevent the reasonable and predictable misuse of this technology by committing to ethics by design.
The part of the government relationship stands out for its flexibility in its implementation:
Flexible regulatory approach:
We encourage governments to evaluate existing policy tools and exercise caution before adopting new laws, regulations, or taxes that may inadvertently or unnecessarily impede the responsible development and use of AI. Since the applications of AI technologies vary widely, gold-plating can inadvertently reduce the number of technologies created and offered on the market, particularly by startups and small businesses. We encourage policymakers to recognize the importance of SWAps as needed; A regulatory approach will not apply to all AI applications. We are ready to work with legislators and regulators to address legitimate concerns where they occur.
Finally, in relation to the agreements between public-private companies:
Public-private partnership:
Businesses will make AI implementations an attractive investment for both government and private industry, and promote innovation, scalability, and sustainability. By leveraging companies, especially among industry partners, academia, and governments, we can streamline AI R&D and prepare our workforce for the jobs of the future.
This document can lay the foundation for the future AI path for years to come.
