AI is having a global and escalating impact on human activities, across regions and cultures. The speed of innovation already seems to outstrip the abilities of politicians and regulatory bodies to understand and legislate these emerging technologies. This panel will explore the theme of collaborative governance for AI and AGI, focusing on how different approaches to public and institutional participation might shape the future of these technologies.

- What role should governments play in the regulation of AI, and how can they effectively collaborate with industry and academia, and beyond?
- How do we bridge global divides in AI regulation, governance, and
- What role should public input play in the decision-making process for AI policies, and how can this input be effectively integrated into governance structures?
- How can we measure the effectiveness of inclusive governance approaches in AI, and what metrics should be used to assess their impact?
- What role should interdisciplinary collaboration play in developing effective AI governance models, and how can we foster such collaboration?

Anthropomorphism vs. Personalization in AI

Facilitator, Colleen Pridemore
Topic: Humans tend to anthropomorphize AI, whether we're prompted by our individual feelings, or the way AI tools are marketed to us. But what are the ethical issues around this? How should we think of AI? Like a pet? Like a friend? Like a tool? And is AI "personalising" us?
