WHAT IS AI SAFETY?

The concept of AI safety, which we call "artificial intelligence safety" in our country, used to create more conceptual confusion since the word "safety" was mostly used in the context of cyber security in Turkey. In the last few years, when artificial intelligence has been rapidly integrated into our daily lives, the broad scope of artificial intelligence security has become better understood. Artificial intelligence security aims to develop security measures against the risks that artificial intelligence technologies may pose to individuals, societies and humanity in general, and to develop this technology in the most beneficial way for people. This includes both ensuring that artificial intelligence has a technical infrastructure that can be used safely and that society adapts to the developing artificial intelligence technology.

Artificial intelligence is an exponentially developing technology. This means that artificial intelligence is a technology that is evolving not at a constant rate but at an exponential rate as more resources are allocated to it, at a rate that we cannot keep up with. That's why artificial intelligence security is not just about existing systems; It also aims to ensure that future artificial intelligence systems are safe. You can see this context as two sometimes conflicting concepts, divided into 'near-term risks' and 'long-term risks' or 'narrow artificial intelligence applications' and 'general artificial intelligence (AGI)' risks. We think that, although they have different priorities, these two fields can work hand in hand with each other and provide a holistic security framework for artificial intelligence.

Let's give examples of these two different risk areas and reinforce the concept a little more.

We organized our Introduction to AI Governance program for the second time
We organized our Introduction to AI Governance program for the second time. As in the first one, we went through a difficult selection process for this program, receiving applications nearly twice our capacity. Some of our participants, who completed the five-week program in which we also hosted Artificial Intelligence Governance Researcher and Community Founder Jelle Donders, applied to Bluedot Impact's programs, and we stay in touch with many of them and follow their success.

Bilkent University Philosophy Festival

We introduced Artificial Intelligence Turkey and the interdisciplinary structure of artificial intelligence security to the participants who attended Bilkent University Philosophy Festival and visited our stand. We had our first meeting in Ankara on the evening of the same day. We had so much fun, we will come back to Ankara! 🙂
