According to Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind and CEO of Inflection AI, the business world will be transformed in the next five years. Speaking on a panel at the World Economic Forum, Suleyman described how the latest online chatbots, image generators, and similar AI systems could improve everything from computer programming to transportation and medical research.
Suleyman has underscored the urgency of AI regulation, stating that the next five years are crucial. In his book, “The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century’s Greatest Dilemma”, published in 2023, Suleyman emphasizes that the challenge is not to halt development, but to steer it with pragmatic ethics, trust rebuilding, and new dialogues, ensuring technology serves humanity and the planet.
Suleyman, along with other influential tech leaders, has been a strong advocate for responsible AI development. Last year, he participated in a meeting with the US Senate, joined by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and executives from Google, Amazon, and other major tech companies. While no immediate enforcement action was taken, Suleyman and his peers voluntarily committed to avoiding the creation of potentially harmful AI system.
The Centre for Global Studies is playing a significant role in shaping AI regulations on a global scale. It is actively working towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and gaining insights into the trajectories of AI and other innovative technologies. The CGS’s contributions are part of a broader global effort to develop new laws that will guide technological development for the common good and define new horizons of security, justice, and peace.
