Through collaboration, we can shape a safe and secure AI future

2023 will be viewed as the year artificial intelligence (AI) tipped into the mainstream – and it’s only just getting started. The global AI market is expected to grow to $USD 2.6 trillion within a decade. Given how transformative AI stands to become, across areas ranging from healthcare to food safety, the built environment and beyond, it’s critical we find a way to harness its power as a force for good.

Beyond the excitement around ChatGPT, there are serious questions around how we build trust in AI, especially generative AI, and what guardrails are needed. This is not a future challenge; according to BSI’s recent Trust in AI poll, 38% of people are already using AI in their jobs day-to-day and 62% expect to by 2030. As the uses for AI multiply, there will be many questions to answer. For technology leaders and those focused on digital transformation, these include what does safe use of AI look like? How do we bring everyone along on this exciting journey, and upskill those who need this? How can business be encouraged to innovate and what does government need to do to enable that while maintaining a focus on safety?
