DeepMind COO Says Davos Offers Chance to Decide How to Shape AI

Google DeepMind’s Chief Operating Officer Lila Ibrahim said the company will use conversations at the World Economic Forum this week to talk responsible development of artificial intelligence.

“One question I got last night at dinner is, are we prototyping too much, is there too much piloting going on? And my response was, ‘No, we’re still early in AI development,’” Ibrahim said in a Bloomberg Television interview with Francine Lacqua in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday. “We’ll never have more time than we do right now to explore and understand, how do we want to shape the technology. How do we set the boundaries?”
