... Among the topics addressed at that earlier meeting and summarized at the symposium are the impacts of AI on the global economy and social cohesion, and the ethical and privacy considerations surrounding its development. Participants in the May 23 meeting also engaged in a broader dialogue of public and private institutional responses to the development of this rapidly changing technology; what role governments, companies, and international institutions can play in its stewardship; and what concretely is needed in order to foster international cooperation.

... She noted that AI is transforming the economy and society, and that its applications can be used to promote quality of life and economic growth. Parker then discussed Executive Order 13859 on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence, issued on February 11, 2019.2 The Executive Order establishes an initiative to promote and protect national AI technology and innovation.

... While patents and publications reflect significant global cooperation and competition in AI, there are few formal international mechanisms to ensure rules for data gathering and ethical application, as well as norms for collaboration and standardization.

... . Regarding gender bias, Greely noted that a session speaker cited examples of a Google Translate search, changing sentences from English into another language and back to English that resulted in translating the sentence "he is a nurse, she is a doctor" into "she is a nurse, he is a doctor." The speaker also discussed an Airbnb smart pricing algorithm that resulted in racial bias.

... Speakers noted that although there are not many formal international mechanisms for ensuring rules for the ethical application of AI and norms for standardization, researchers and firms are engaging in international collaborations in authoring papers and patent applications as well as forming research alliances. A globally diffuse and connected community of AI researchers work together, and there is an ethos of openness among this global community.
