Artificial Intelligence is rife with contradictions. It is a powerful tool that is also surprisingly limited in terms of
its current capabilities. And, while it has the potential to improve human existence, at the same time it
threatens to deepen social divides and put millions of people out of work. While its inner workings are highly
technical, the non-technical among us can and should understand the basic principles of how it works – and
the concerns that it raises. As the influence and impact of AI spread, it will be critical to involve people and
experts from the most diverse backgrounds possible in guiding this technology in ways that enhance human
capabilities and lead to positive outcomes.
This briefing is based on the views of a wide range of experts.

The key issues shaping and influencing Artificial Intelligence are as follows:
Bias and Fairness in AI Algorithms
The real-world data informing systems reflect the
inequalities and biases of the real world
AI and Jobs

Preparing for a future without human work will
require more than addressing basic financial needs
Can AI Overcome its Limitations?
Estimates for when truly agile and adaptable AI
might emerge range from 10 years to never
Geopolitical Impacts of AI
The geographical concentration of the technology
could aggravate international rivalries
Operationalizing Responsible AI
Ethical principles can have very different meanings
depending on location and cultural context
AI, Diversity, and Inclusion
One way to avoid problems with the technology is
to create more diverse development teams
AI for What Purpose?
We should consider whether some applications of
the technology should be banned entirely
Generative AI*
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that
creates new content based on patterns and data it
has learned from.
