Our new paper explores the legal and ethical challenges of generative AI, focusing on global regulatory approaches, intellectual property, data privacy, and accountability. It highlights the importance of responsible AI use and outlines CRIF’s commitment to human-centric, transparent, and fair AI practices.
Introduction
When Alan Turing posed the question “Can machines think?” in 1950, he could not have envisioned that seventy-five years later machines would not only attempt to answer his question, but also generate complex responses with far-reaching social, legal, and ethical implications.
The release of ChatGPT in November 2022 marked a watershed moment in artificial intelligence, introducing the public to the power of generative AI (GenAI). Unlike traditional AI systems, GenAI models, such as OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini (formerly PaLM), and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion, are capable of generating human-like content, including text, images, and codes. Despite its vast potential, GenAI’s rapid development and deployment have outpaced the evolution of adequate legal and ethical frameworks.
Within this context, the commitment to the responsible use of GenAI is imperative, given its integration into our professional and personal lives. By prioritizing human values, safeguarding privacy, and fostering accountability, we can harness the power of AI to build a better, fairer future for all. At CRIF, we are developing a framework for the responsible use of AI that addresses both legal and ethical challenges, and is rooted in integrity, transparency, fairness, and a human-centric innovation ecosystem.
