On the 23rd of February, The Third Eye was present at a talk centered around how the European Union can fairly utilise artificial intelligence. The National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) successfully convened a thought-provoking event on Artificial Intelligence and Ethics at Malta Digital Innovation Authority.
The session ran from 18:30 till 20:00 and included a welcome note by Mr Francis Stivala, opening remarks by Mr Gavril Flores, a keynote speech given by Professor Alexei Dingli, and presentations representing different countries.
A presentation of report by the delegation representing Finland started, followed by the resolution presented by the delegator of Italy. Two speeches were then given on intervention, one by the delegation representing Italy, and another representing Germany. It was then time for the delegations to question and reply to the interventions. Intervention by the delegation representing Finland came next, followed by an intervention by the delegation representing Belgium. The delegations then had the chance to question and reply to the interventions. This part of the session was concluded by the Chairperson introducing the resolution and allowing the delegations to present their amendments. This was then met with a vote.
The event by NSTF demonstrates the growing importance of examining the ethical implications of AI and its use while maintaining social unity.
