AI should conform to human expertise, asserts chairman of Kuwait AI Society during Doha conference.
Rewritten Article:
Sheikh Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the chairman of the Kuwait Artificial Intelligence Society, strongly underscores the necessity of smartly blending AI technology with human expertise to generate profound insights and align policies with societal interests. During a significant gathering titled "Smart Governance for a Sustainable Future in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries," Sheikh Mohammad voiced his concerns about reckless AI applications in the absence of structured integration.
Speaking at the Our Legacy Summit in Doha, under the patronage of Sheikha Moza bint Nasser Al Missned, the sheikh urged a cautionary approach towards the unchecked use of AI tools like ChatGPT, warning that its misuse could lead to chaos in governance and policymaking.
Emphasizing the importance of an intelligent policy development model, he suggested merging large language models (LLMs) with human expertise. His concerns stem from the potential risk of haphazard AI applications, as opposed to integrated AI solutions.
Encouraging immediate action by governing bodies, Sheikh Mohammad urged the swift assessment of risks and the implementation of robust mitigation strategies to ensure the safe and responsible use of language models.
Addressing the opportunity for using AI to cultivate sustainable economies in GCC countries, the sheikh suggested strategically channeling oil and gas revenues into economic diversification, rather than relying solely on these resources as the economic backbone.
He further highlighted the value of AI in running comprehensive simulation models to evaluate the broader impacts of proposed policies, including social, economic, and geopolitical perspectives.
While the specific policy development model Sheikh Mohammad proposes may differ from those discussed globally, the core concern for wise AI usage and integrating it with human expertise remains crucial. Other considerations in the remarkable global AI discourse include data protection, ethical AI development, cooperative governance, and public trust and transparency. These discussions provide a sound framework that can be tailored to meet the distinctive needs of the GCC region.
