United Nations<\/a>, Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, if harnessed properly, can generate enormous prosperity and opportunity, India<\/a> has said, underscoring the need to ensure AI systems<\/a> are not misused and that advancement of digital super intelligence must be symbiotic with humanity.
Speaking at a special event 'Artificial Intelligence for Social Justice<\/a>', India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj<\/a> underlined that if harnessed properly, AI can generate enormous prosperity and opportunity, leading to vastly more productive and efficient economies.
The event was hosted by the Permanent Mission of India to the UN in partnership with NGO Foundation for Human Horizon at the UN headquarters on the occasion of the 132nd birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar here on Friday.
Kamboj quoted Ambedkar saying \"We are Indians, firstly and lastly\".
She said the Father of the Constitution of India had emphasised that all Indians, regardless of their caste, religion, or social status, should be treated equally, and enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
\"And the Government of India's motto 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas' emphasises just that, a society where everyone should have equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstance.\"
She added that as the mid-term review of the Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs) beckons in September 2023, the international community needs to turbocharge the SDGs to ensure the social and economic development of one and all.
\"How then can AI power social justice? How can AI overcome barriers and unleash opportunities for all,\" she said.
\"As true for any technology, there is a need to take required measures and put in place adequate safeguards to ensure that AI systems are not misused or guided by biases leading to discrimination. As said, the advance of digital super intelligence should be \/ must be symbiotic with humanity,\" Kamboj added.
UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology Amandeep Singh Gill described Ambedkar as a \"powerful symbol\" and \"torchbearer\" of the fight for equity and justice for the downtrodden not just in India but all over the subcontinent.
He noted that while a lot has been accomplished since Babasaheb's time through wise policies, affirmative action and community mobilisation in the fight against injustices, prejudice, hatred and discrimination, there is still a lot that has to change not just in India but everywhere.
\"There is prejudice, there is injustice, there is discrimination, there is exploitation in the analog world. And what we do and build in the digital world cannot be separate from that. If our AI systems use data that reflects the existing injustices in the world, the prejudices, the hatred that is still out there, then we are just perpetuating that,\" Gill said.
He added that if the digital systems are designed well, with a focus on responsible AI, and are based on unbiased data free from discrimination, then \"perhaps we can use them as a tool to build social justice.\"
Gill further stressed that there is a lot of potential in AI for good which the UN system is also leveraging.
He cited examples of a team working with chilli farmers in eastern India and using the latest AI tools to help farmers and agriculture extension workers bring more productivity to farming practices as well as using AI to support health systems in northern India.
\"These good applications will not come about on their own. And Babasaheb's struggle is an example. You will have to craft norms. You will have to craft affirmative action...It will not happen automatically. It will require investments in all these areas.
Only then can the promise of AI be truly realised,\" he said. Kamboj also highlighted that India's commitment to using AI for social empowerment has \"given us the idea to use it in the sectors of agriculture, healthcare, and education.\"
The Indian government<\/a> has created AI algorithms to forecast agricultural yields, assisting farmers in making more informed decisions about their crops and lowering the chance of losses, she said adding that this has aided in enhancing farmers' financial circumstances and advancing social justice in the agricultural industry.
On the medical front, AI is being employed to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments in India's underserved regions. She cited the example of the eSanjeevani scheme, which was launched in 2019 and aims to provide healthcare services to people in rural and remote areas of India, where access to healthcare is limited.
She noted that the Indian Government has started a number of programs to use AI to educate marginalised populations.
The Government has developed the 'Diksha' portal as a project to offer digital education to pupils in public schools all across the nation. Singapore's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Burhan Gafoor said Ambedkar was a \"visionary\" and his philosophy is captured in the Sustainable Development Goals \"because we here at the United Nations believe in the idea that we should leave no one behind\", which is fundamentally is a principle of social justice, inclusion and equity.
Gafoor paid tribute to India, its leadership and its accomplishments in the area of technology and AI.
Noting that India has the highest number of people with AI skills, Gafoor said there are several countries around the world that can learn from India.
\"Certainly we in Singapore are working very closely with India to learn from India's experience but also in a small way to share our own experience,\" he said.
He underlined that the starting point of AI must be the well-being of people. \"It must be human-centric. And that is of course what is implied by the notion of social justice.\"
He added that AI as a means will not lead to the well-being of people by chance or by accident.
\"It has to be deliberate. It has to be intentional. That is where governments have a role to play,\" he said.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":99507000,"title":"Irish regulator has month to make order on EU-US Facebook data transfers","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/internet\/irish-regulator-has-month-to-make-order-on-eu-us-facebook-data-transfers\/99507000","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"internet"}],"related_content":[],"msid":99517462,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Safeguards needed to ensure AI systems are not misused or guided by biases: Amb Kamboj","synopsis":"Speaking at a special event 'Artificial Intelligence for Social Justice', India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj underlined that if harnessed properly, AI can generate enormous prosperity and opportunity, leading to vastly more productive and efficient economies.","titleseo":"internet\/safeguards-needed-to-ensure-ai-systems-are-not-misused-or-guided-by-biases-amb-kamboj","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"analytics":{"comments":0,"views":124,"shares":0,"engagementtimems":616000},"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"PTI","artdate":"2023-04-15 17:19:53","lastupd":"2023-04-15 17:28:09","breadcrumbTags":["artificial intelligence","AI systems","ruchira kamboj","india","sustainable development goals","indian government","internet","Artificial Intelligence for Social Justice","United Nations","Human centric AI"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"internet\/safeguards-needed-to-ensure-ai-systems-are-not-misused-or-guided-by-biases-amb-kamboj"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="Internet" data-category_id="17" data-date="2023-04-15" data-index="article_1">

联合国,人工智能如果利用得当,可以产生巨大的繁荣和机会,印度说,强调了需要确保吗人工智能系统不被滥用,促进数字超级情报必须与人类共生。
在一个特殊的事件”人工智能为社会正义”,印度常驻联合国大使代表Ruchira Kamboj强调,如果利用得当,AI可以产生巨大的繁荣和机会,导致更高产高效的经济体。
事件是由印度向联合国的永久使命与非政府组织合作的基础人力地平线在联合国总部值此诞辰132周年B R博士安贝德卡在星期五。
Kamboj援引安贝德卡说“我们是印第安人,首先最后”。
她说印度宪法之父曾强调,所有的印第安人,不管他们的种姓、宗教或社会地位,应该平等对待,享受平等的权利和机会。
”和印度政府的座右铭“Sabka Sath, Sabka维”强调,社会,每个人都应该有平等的机会成功,不论他们的背景或情况。”
她补充说,中期审查可持续发展目标(西班牙)2023年9月的到来,国际社会需要支撑西班牙,以确保一个和所有的社会和经济发展。
“怎能AI权力社会正义吗?AI如何克服障碍,释放所有的机会,”她说。
”适用于任何技术一样,需要采取必要的措施和实施适当的安全措施,以确保AI系统不被滥用或指导下偏见导致歧视。说,推进数字超级情报应该/必须与人类共生”Kamboj补充道。
联合国秘书长的特使技术Amandeep吉尔辛格描述安贝德卡作为一个“强有力的象征”和“火炬手”为公平正义而战的被压迫的不仅在印度次大陆。
他指出,虽然很多已经完成自Babasaheb时间通过明智的政策,平权行动和社区动员对抗不公,偏见、仇恨和歧视,还有很多的变化不仅在印度随处可见。
“有偏见,是不公平的,有歧视,有开发模拟世界。我们所做的,不能分开,在数字世界。如果我们的AI系统使用的数据反映了世界上现有的不公正,偏见,仍然存在的仇恨,那么我们只是延续,”吉尔说。
他补充说,如果数字系统设计,重点负责任的人工智能,并基于公正的数据不受歧视,然后“也许我们可以使用它们作为一个工具来构建社会公平。”
吉尔进一步强调,有很多潜在的AI,联合国系统还利用。
他引用的例子,一个团队使用辣椒农民在印度东部和使用最新的人工智能工具来帮助农民和农业推广人员带来更多的生产力的农业实践,以及利用人工智能来支持卫生系统在印度北部。
“这些应用程序不会对自己好。和Babasaheb的斗争就是一个例子。你需要工艺规范。你将不得不工艺平权行动……它不会自动发生。它需要在所有这些领域的投资。
AI的承诺才可以真正意识到,”他说。Kamboj还强调,印度的承诺使用AI社会权力”给我们的想法用在农业领域,医疗和教育。”
的印度政府创造了人工智能算法预测农业产量,帮助农民做出更明智的决定对他们的庄稼和降低损失的机会,她说,并补充说这辅助增强农民的金融环境和促进社会公正在农业产业。
在医疗方面,人工智能是用来协助印度缺医少药地区的疾病的诊断和治疗。她引用的例子eSanjeevani计划,于2019年成立,旨在为人们提供医疗服务在印度的农村和偏远地区,那里的医疗条件是有限的。
她指出,印度政府已经开始的项目使用人工智能教育边缘化人群。
政府已经开发出“Diksha”门户网站作为一个项目提供数字教育在全国公立学校所有学生。新加坡的常驻联合国大使代表Burhan Gafoor说安贝德卡是一个“有远见”和他的哲学是在可持续发展目标”,因为我们在联合国相信的想法,我们应该留下没人”,从根本上是社会公正原则,包容和公平。
Gafoor赞扬印度,其领导能力和成就领域的技术和人工智能。
指出印度与人工智能的人数最高技能,Gafoor说世界有几个国家能从印度学习。
“当然我们在新加坡与印度的密切合作学习印度的经验,还在一个小的方式分享自己的经验,”他说。
他强调,AI的起点必须是幸福的人。“它必须以人为中心。这当然是所隐含的社会正义的概念。”
他补充说,人工智能是不会导致人们偶然或意外的幸福。
“这是故意的。它必须是故意的。这就是政府有作用,”他说。
