Ressa warns government oversight is falling behind AI deployment
Speaking in Parañaque City, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said internet-trained AI models could reproduce humanity’s worst traits.
Governments are struggling to keep regulation and control of artificial intelligence abreast of private-sector deployment, Rappler CEO and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa warned at a business summit in Parañaque City on November 15.
Ressa linked the risk of AI reproducing humanity’s worst traits to models gathering their training material from the internet. She compared its usefulness to that of social media for content creators, but cautioned that failing to examine its design could carry a heavy price.
Her appearance at the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit included a keynote and a fireside discussion about trust and AI, moderated by veteran journalist Karen Davila. The two-day gathering runs until November 15 alongside the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits.
