Organized as part of the Franco-German Fortnight in Occitania by the Deutsche Schule Toulouse, a conference on “Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Comparative European Visions” will take place this Tuesday, April 14th, at 7:00 pm at the Auditorium of the Eurocampus in Colomiers.
The conference will bring together researchers Christopher Koska, a specialist in digital responsibility of companies at the University of Augsburg, and Jérôme Béranger, a researcher associated with INSERM 1027 and the University of Toulouse, an expert in the ethical dimensions of AI in the medical and societal fields.
Dr. Jérôme Béranger, an expert in digital ethics and CEO of Goodalgo, will address the ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence, focusing on European regulation, training, and the future of work.
In the face of the increasing power of artificial intelligence, Europe advocates an ethical approach rooted in fundamental rights and general interest. The upcoming European regulation on AI, effective from August 2nd, classifies systems based on their level of risk: unacceptable, high, moderate, or minimal risk. While this approach could offer a strategic advantage if it becomes a global standard, it may hinder innovation in the short term due to Europe falling behind technologically compared to the US and China.
It is a long-term bet on trust as a competitive advantage. Users and AI designers are advised to integrate ethics from the outset, ensuring simplicity, flexibility, reliability, and transparency in AI systems. The responsibility must remain with human professionals, and data quality and source verification are crucial for sensitive sectors like healthcare, finance, and human resources.
The evolving ethics of AI requires continuous monitoring and adjustments, with a focus on training users to ensure responsible AI usage. The societal impact of AI is transforming various industries, emphasizing the importance of retaining human autonomy and critical thinking skills.
The challenge lies in preserving human autonomy and judgment in high-impact areas such as healthcare, education, and justice. The goal is not merely to regulate machines but to uphold our ability to make ethical judgments. Ultimately, artificial intelligence derives its meaning from human input.
