Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President, said, “We want AI systems to be safe, accurate, non-discriminatory, and reliable, regardless of their origin,” on Friday. International organizations also urged the leaders, such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), to consider analyzing the impact of policy developments.
The summit followed a G7 digital ministers’ meeting last month, where its members, the EU, Japan, France, Germany, Canada, Britain, and the US, stated that they should adopt “risk-based” AI rules. On May 30-31, the US and the EU are also expected to exchange views on emerging technologies at Sweden’s Trade and Technology Council.
