Experts Advocate Robust AGI Regulations at AI Everything Global

Experts at the 'AI Everything Global' event in Abu Dhabi underscored the critical need for comprehensive regulatory frameworks to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is developed responsibly and ethically. Keynote speaker Stuart Russell highlighted the unpredictability of current AI technologies, emphasizing that merely scaling up language models does not guarantee the emergence of AGI, which remains speculative. He called for a collaborative effort between governments and companies to establish resilient regulations that minimize risks associated with AGI systems. Additionally, attendees discussed the importance of preventing the dissemination of harmful information through AGI technologies. The event gathered over 200 speakers and industry leaders to explore the transformative potential of AI, with a strong focus on the socio-economic benefits of the technology. Regulatory measures were advocated to safeguard against the inherent uncertainties of AGI advancements.
