On February 19, Venezuela’s Ministry of Science, Technology and People’s Power published a code of ethics for the development and responsible application of artificial intelligence (AI). According to the document, its purpose is to guide the use of this technology.
At its legations, the Ministry called on Venezuelan scientific and academic stakeholders to adopt the framework. He also called on the public to refer to and disseminate this document.
document Establishing nine principles for utilizing AIits name is: Humanities Artificial Intelligence. Fairness, equality, non-discrimination. environmental responsibility; security, privacy; Transparency. Accountability. open science. and excellence.
“These principles are not just recommendations, but practical imperatives that need to be integrated at every stage, from design to development to production.
“Implementing and Using AI Systems” with code highlighted.
For now, It is unclear whether this code of ethics will mean a change in the current use of AI in Venezuela At a legal level. However, mandatory clarification suggests that authorities may take action if the statute is not implemented.
What do the nine principles of the Venezuelan AI Code say?
The principle called “humanistic artificial intelligence” establishes that AI must contribute to the integrated development of humans and society. So-called “fairness, equality and non-discrimination” stipulates that AI systems must be designed to avoid biases that reproduce social, economic, cultural or gender inequalities. request Continuous monitoring to prevent automated decisions Let him do it.
Promote the development of sustainable technologies in the life cycle of AI systems from an environmental responsibility perspective. He said efficient use of resources and reduction of carbon emissions must continue. This is with AI in mind accused of ingesting shocking amounts of water For cooling systems of working hardware.
The security field warns that this technology must guarantee the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the processed data. Furthermore, the Privacy Principles make clear that this: Collecting and using personal data must require informed consent from users. In this regard, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, which developed ChatGPT, urged people not to share their personal data with AI.
At the same time, the transparency section requires that the processes, algorithms and decisions associated with these systems must be clear, understandable and explainable. When it comes to accountability, always decide: Humans need to be responsible for AI decisions. This responsibility includes developers, operators, and users. Therefore, the question remains whether self-replicating AI or AI that creates AI is not acceptable under ethics. This is an example we recently reported on CriptoNoticias.
From an open science perspective, it promotes scientific cooperation, knowledge exchange, and access to research related to artificial intelligence.
Finally, technology sovereignty law emphasizes the need to strengthen national capacity in infrastructure, human resources and technological production.
Code arrives due to increased use of AI
This code has arrived in Venezuela Occurs as AI development and use expands globally. As reported by CriptoNoticias, the cryptocurrency ecosystem is not exempt from this panorama.
From creating new tools with this technology to integrating it into exchanges for trading, artificial intelligence is transforming the cryptocurrency space in tandem with other areas of humanity.
In this sense, AI tools within the territory of Venezuela, both inside and outside the cryptocurrency sector, protected under this code of ethics.
