1. CONTEXT
As artificial intelligence becomes widespread, humans must ensure our collective interests are represented and safeguarded. New policies, challenges, and issues will continue to emerge with the adoption of AI systems worldwide, and through the Global BrainTrust we aim to present a human voice, a unified response, to navigate this rapidly shifting landscape. The Global BrainTrust is a broad, inclusive coalition of thought leaders across different sectors who offer guidance on the responsible and ethical adoption of AI, to uphold human dignity, justice, and the common good.
2. WHO WE ARE
We are a coalition of business and institutional leaders from different nations of the world who present our views on the rapid changes, challenges and opportunities emberging from a growing AI-centric reality.
The AI BrainTrust convenes researchers, ethicists, policymakers, lawyers, entrepreneurs and civil society leaders. Together, we represent diverse backgrounds, ideologies and interests, modeling how groups with disparate views can have thoughtful dialogue to find wise solutions. Our membership reflects the full spectrum of human values and concerns regarding AI.
3. OUR GOAL
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises immense benefits, yet also poses complex challenges for humanity. To thrive in an AI-powered world, we must optimize the opportunities and benefits brought about by greater AI adoption. As we move with broader adoption of AI technologies, we support greater communication, collaboration, understanding, empathy, peace-making and bridge-building.
We support those industries, platforms, and policies that are centered around humans. Our Global BrainTrust coalition will strive to connect, inform, support and present the human perspective. We will advocate for a future where human dignity, human potential and human communities are valued, and where our differences are celebrated. Our diverse backgrounds will be the strength of our coalition.
4. THE PROCESS
When critical issues relating to AI emerge in the public discourse, we redflag this and present our recommendations. We also stand ready to provide stakeholders in government, business and civil society with a diverse, human-focused perspective on how we can best advance AI for the benefit of all.
5. WHAT WE BELIEVE
Though our views may vary, we are united by shared principles – that AI must be developed and used in ways that:
A. Respect human rights and dignity
B. Mitigate bias and discrimination
C. Protect privacy and autonomy
D. Maintain transparency and accountability
E. Promote prosperity broadly
F. Augment rather than replace human capabilities
By upholding these principles, we can realize the profound good AI may do, while vigilantly guarding against potential misuse or unintended consequences. As advocates for good, we believe in the need to represent the diversity of human interests regarding this powerful technology. By lending our voice we hope to provide balanced policy guidance to anticipate and address ethical risks before they become crises.
