CERRE – Global Governance of Digital Economy: Artificial Intelligence

The report discusses the rapid development and potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), highlighting the shift towards creating non-human intelligence that will surpass human capabilities. The concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is explored, with the potential for machines to outperform humans in various tasks. The benefits of AI in various fields such as science, healthcare, and education are also described, with the potential for a new AI-driven Renaissance to transform society. However, the realization of this potential requires deliberate policies and institutions to foster innovation and address challenges such as intellectual property protection and inequality. The uneven distribution of AI advancements may lead to new forms of inequality within and between countries, potentially exacerbating existing disparities. Measures must be implemented to support reskilling, social protection, and international cooperation to prevent widening gaps and conflicts.
