Programme
3.15 PM
Speaker: Dr. Anna Jobin (Germany)
Artificial Intelligence is not just a technical field; it is also a social concern. This is evident in the growing demand for 'ethical AI'. Existing AI ethics guidelines and principles highlight significant challenges related to value prioritization, implementation, and broader issues beyond ethics and AI.

3.55 PM
Speaker: Lena Rickenberg (Germany)
Is AI a blessing in the sky to solve the biggest and most difficult challenges of our time or are the drawbacks of AI - such as coded bias - outweigh the positive prospects? A comparison of advantages and disadvantages, showcases of examples from the mobility sector, quick overview of the EU's plans to regulate AI and a quick German course.

4.30 PM
Speaker: Dr. Jun-E Tan (Malaysia)
The recent hype around artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked significant discussion and prompted regulatory interest and action on a global scale. During this talk, we will discuss various types of risks posed by AI and consider the challenges of AI governance within the context of Southeast Asia.

4.50 PM
Speaker: Arthit Suriyawongkul (Thailand)
This session explores the existing AI accountability requirements in EU and Thailand's AI regulation proposals. What measures will be in place for AI systems to "commit to legal and ethical obligations," "explain and demonstrate ethical implementation to internal and external stakeholders," and "remedy any failure to act properly"?

5.10 PM
Moderator: Hafiz Noer (Indonesia)
Regulations and ethical guidelines serve as guardrails in AI development. However, the journey from guidelines to practice and effective governance is fraught with obstacles. Algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, accountability, transparency, and the potential for misuse and unintended consequences present formidable challenges.
Will we benefit from heavier regulation of AI or will this stifle innovation at an early adoption stage? How do we put ethical guidelines into practice? While the European Union opts for a stricter approach, in Southeast Asia, restrictive laws on technology have often correlated with digital rights violations and increased government surveillance. How can we ensure that AI regulations uphold digital human rights?
This panel will explore the various strategies adopted by societies to approach this challenge.
