News<\/strong>:\u00a0This article discusses the various kinds of risks associated with Frontier AI and the international regulatory mechanisms being put in place by various countries. It also analyses India\u2019s policy stance on AI.<\/p>\n

Recently, 28 major countries met at Bletchley Park in the UK for the world\u2019s first ever Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Summit and<\/strong> agreed to collaborate to minimize risks from \u2018Frontier AI\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These 28 countries included the United States, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and India, and the European Union.<\/p>\n

What is Frontier AI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cFrontier AI\u201d is defined as highly capable foundation generative AI models that could possess dangerous capabilities that can pose severe risks to public safety.<\/p>\n

For example, Biometric Authentication, Automation, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the challenges posed due to Frontier AI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Frontier AI models pose a distinct regulatory challenge:<\/p>\n

1) Inability to Predict Outcomes:<\/strong> Dangerous capabilities can arise unexpectedly<\/strong>. According to various tech industry leaders, AI labs are in an uncontrolled race to develop systems that no one can fully control.<\/p>\n

2) Misuse: <\/strong>It is difficult to robustly prevent a deployed model from being misused<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3) Proliferation: <\/strong>It is difficult to stop a model\u2019s capabilities from proliferating<\/strong> broadly.<\/p>\n

4) There are also concerns regarding: privacy<\/strong>, system bias<\/strong>, and violation of intellectual property rights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are the approaches on AI taken by different countries?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The policy response has varied across countries. For instance:<\/p>\n

1) EU:<\/strong> The EU has taken a tough approach<\/strong>, proposing to bring in a new AI Act<\/strong> that classifies artificial intelligence according to use-case scenarios, based broadly on the degree of invasiveness and risk.<\/p>\n

2) UK:<\/strong> The UK is at the other end of the spectrum, with a \u201clight-touch\u201d approach<\/strong> that aims to foster, and not stop innovation in this field.<\/p>\n

3) USA:<\/strong> The US approach is seen to be somewhere in between. It is planning on defining an AI regulation rulebook ultimately becoming an AI \u2018Bill of Rights\u2019<\/strong>.
\nFor instance, a new rule seeks to codify the use of watermarks that alert consumers to a product enabled by AI, which could potentially limit the threat posed by deepfakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is India\u2019s stance on AI and AI regulation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As per the Union Minister of State for IT, India\u2019s stance on AI includes the following:<\/p>\n

1) India looks at AI and technology, in general, through the prism of openness, safety, trust and accountability<\/strong>. AI represents a big opportunity.<\/p>\n

2) India believes that steps should be taken to ensure AI safety and trust.<\/strong> For instance, the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister had called for a global framework on the expansion of \u201cethical\u201d AI tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3) India also maintains that steps should be taken to mitigate the downsides of AI or any emerging technology. India\u2019s position is of actively formulating regulations <\/strong>based on a \u201crisk-based, user-harm\u201d approach.<\/p>\n

4) As per Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)<\/strong>, the Centre should set up a domestic statutory authority to regulate AI in India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5) The NITI Aayog<\/strong> has also published papers on Responsible AI for All.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the government is not considering bringing a law or regulating the growth of artificial intelligence in the country, according to the Union Minister of IT.<\/p>\n

Terminology used:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Red teaming: <\/strong>In cybersecurity, \u201cred teaming\u201d refers to the practice of emulating real-world adversaries and their tools, tactics, and procedures to identify risks, uncover blind spots, validate assumptions, and improve the overall security posture of systems.<\/p>\n

Question for practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is \u2018Frontier AI\u2019? What are the risks associated with its adoption by humanity? How are countries dealing with these challenges?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
