Challenges and regulation around artificial intelligence focus the Govern’s AI Week
Bustince said that ‘in ten years’ time the world will have changed completely because some of the tasks now performed by humans will be carried out by machines’. The real challenge lies in the ethics, privacy and sustainability of AI, explained the expert at an event opened by the Minister of Enterprise, Alejandro Sáez de San Pedro, followed by a welcome from the President of Eticentre, Miquel Àngel Benito. Both highlighted the great challenge posed by the advance of AI and the need to place ethical values at the centre of decision-making.
Bustince’s conference gave way to a colloquium in which participated, in addition to the protagonist of the conference, the HR expert and partner of Go Consulting, Jorge Serrano, and the professor of Computer Science and AI of the UIB, Manuel González Hidalgo.
