Background:
Artificial intelligence (AI) shows immense promise in fostering integrity. However, with equally great risks of its misuse and abuse, questions about its integrity abound. AI is being touted as an important tool in promoting transparency, integrity, and anti-corruption. There is a need to bring together technology providers, government officials/regulators, civil society actors, and academia to explore the benefits, opportunities, and risks associated with the use of AI, which has the vast potential to deliver huge societal benefits and accelerate technology innovation while underlying challenges of managing the risks that put its integrity in question.
Objective and key discussion areas:
This workshop aims to explore how the threats and risks from AI can and should be managed to fully harness its benefits for embedding integrity in governance systems and showcase what key actors have done to regulate AI for good. The workshop will tackle the growing opportunities presented by AI and the risks of using it in fostering integrity and building integrity into governance systems. It will offer insights into how its novel overall application in governance can be maximized while mitigating the risks of it being misused an abused by corrupt actors that could raise concerns with privacy, transparency, and even human rights.
