The Asilomar AI Principles are a set of guidelines developed by leading AI researchers and experts to ensure the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence. These principles cover various topics, from AI research goals and funding priorities to the ethical considerations and long-term implications of advanced AI systems.
At the core of the Asilomar Principles is the belief that AI should be developed to create beneficial intelligence that serves humanity rather than undirected or potentially harmful AI. This means investing in research not just on AI’s technical capabilities but also on the societal, economic, and ethical challenges that must be addressed.
