A group of twelve European Union legislators has signed an open letter calling for the responsible development of artificial intelligence (AI). The letter, shared on Twitter by EU Parliament member Dragoș Tudorache, asks for a collaborative effort and a universal set of rules for the development, control, and deployment of AI. The legislators have urged the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and United States President Joe Biden to convene a summit on AI and agree on governing principles for the technology.
Google CEO joins EU legislators as he cautions about the rapid development of AI
While the EU politicians agree with the core message of the letter from tech leaders and researchers, they have expressed disagreement with some of its more alarmist statements. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and other AI CEOs, CTOs, and researchers were among the signatories of the letter published by the Future of Life Institute (FOLI) in March.
Musk has continued to highlight the risks he believes AI could pose, stating that like any other technology, it has the potential to be misused if developed with ill intentions.
