The work of the 23rd Winter Meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PA) continued today.
MP Mr. Christos Senekis, in his intervention in a debate on the security implications of the progress made in the field of artificial intelligence, said that artificial intelligence is already being used even without our knowledge in many of the systems we use, and that its potential impact is expected to take on significant dimensions and bring about major improvements in the fields of health, education and transport, among many others.
Seneca pointed out, however, that at the same time there are significant risks due to the lack of adequate controls on the rapid progress of AI, and that these risks will grow in magnitude and complexity as AI advances and becomes more pervasive and powerful. It warned that malicious use of advanced AI technologies can compromise essential systems, manipulate data and fuel disinformation campaigns. He stressed that appropriate measures must be taken to ensure that advances in AI systems maximise not only the profits of the companies developing them, but also serve the public good. The Cypriot MEP said that a strong legal framework must be created so that citizens feel safe. Key elements of the legal framework must be to ensure compliance and oversight by competent authorities, to prevent bias and discrimination in AI systems and to ensure accountability for those who abuse its capabilities. Senekis pointed out that although we are witnessing the emergence of new AI tools every day, we are only at the beginning of this revolution and that finding coordinated solutions is the only way to address the serious challenges posed by the rapid progress in AI and reap the benefits of it.
