4. AI should level the playing field

Voice technology and social robots provide newly accessible solutions, specifically to people disadvantaged by sight problems, dyslexia and limited mobility. The business technology community needs to accelerate the development of new technologies to level the playing field and broaden the available talent pool.

· (7) Innovation

To realize Society 5.0 and continuous innovation in which people evolve along with AI, it is necessary to account for national, industry academia, and public private borders, race, sex, nationality, age, political and religious beliefs, etc. Beyond these boundaries, through a Global perspective we must promote diversification and cooperation between industry academia public private sectors, through the development of human capabilities and technology. To encourage mutual collaboration and partnership between universities, research institutions and private sectors, and the flexible movement of talent. To implement AI efficiently and securely in society, methods for confirming the quality and reliability of AI and for efficient collection and maintenance of data utilized in AI must be promoted. Additionally, the establishment of AI engineering should also be promoted. This engineering includes methods for the development, testing and operation of AI. To ensure the sound development of AI technology, it is necessary to establish an accessible platform in which data from all fields can be mutually utilized across borders with no monopolies, while ensuring privacy and security. In addition, research and development environments should be created in which computer resources and highspeed networks are shared and utilized, to promote international collaboration and accelerate AI research. To promote implementation of AI technology, governments must promote regulatory reform to reduce impeding factors in AI related fields.

1. The purpose of AI is to augment human intelligence

The purpose of AI and cognitive systems developed and applied by IBM is to augment – not replace – human intelligence. Our technology is and will be designed to enhance and extend human capability and potential. At IBM, we believe AI should make ALL of us better at our jobs, and that the benefits of the AI era should touch the many, not just the elite few. To that end, we are investing in initiatives to help the global workforce gain the skills needed to work in partnership with these technologies.

· 3.2 Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education

Current and future workers need to be prepared with the necessary education and training to help them succeed. We recognize that delivering training is critical and will require significant investment, not only in STEM education, but also in understanding human behavior via the humanities and social sciences. To ensure employability of the workforce of the future, the public and private sectors should work together to design and deliver work based learning and training systems, and advance approaches that provide students with real work experiences and concrete skills. In conjunction, prioritizing diversity and inclusion in STEM fields, and in the AI community specifically, will be a key part in ensuring AI develops in the most robust way possible.

· 5. INTERESTS OF DEVELOPING AI TECHNOLOGIES ABOVE THE INTERESTS OF COMPETITION

5.1. Correctness of AIS comparisons. To maintain the fair competition and effective cooperation of developers, AI Actors should use the most reliable and comparable information about the capabilities of AISs in relation to a task and ensure the uniformity of the measurement methodologies. 5.2. Development of competencies. AI Actors are encouraged to follow practices adopted by the professional community, to maintain the proper level of professional competence necessary for safe and effective work with AIS and to promote the improvement of the professional competence of workers in the field of AI, including within the framework of programs and educational disciplines on AI ethics. 5.3. Collaboration of developers. AI Actors are encouraged to develop cooperation within the AI Actor community, particularly between developers, including by informing each other of the identification of critical vulnerabilities in order to prevent their wide distribution. They should also make efforts to improve the quality and availability of resources in the field of AIS development, including by increasing the availability of data (including labeled data), ensuring the compatibility of the developed AIS where applicable and creating conditions for the formation of a national school for the development of AI technologies that includes publicly available national repositories of libraries and network models, available national development tools, open national frameworks, etc. They are also encouraged to share information on the best practices in the development of AI technologies and organize and hold conferences, hackathons and public competitions, as well as high school and student Olympiads. They should increase the availability of knowledge and encourage the use of open knowledge databases, creating conditions for attracting investments in the development of AI technologies from Russian private investors, business angels, venture funds and private equity funds while stimulating scientific and educational activities in the field of AI by participating in the projects and activities of leading Russian research centers and educational organizations.

· 5. INTERESTS OF AI TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT OUTWEIGH THE INTERESTS OF COMPETITION

5.1. Accuracy of AI systems comparisons. In order to maintain fair competition and effective cooperation of developers, AI Actors are encouraged to use the most reliable and comparable information about the capabilities of AI systems with regards to a certain task and ensure the uniformity of measurement methodologies when comparing AI systems with one another. 5.2. Development of competencies. AI Actors are encouraged to follow practices adopted in the professional community, maintain a proper level of professional competence required for safe and effective work with AI systems and promote the improvement of professional competence of experts in the field of AI, i.a. within programs and educational disciplines on AI ethics. 5.3. Cooperation of developers. AI Actors are encouraged to cooperate within their community and among developers in particular, i.a. through informing each other about the identification of critical vulnerabilities in order to prevent them from spreading, and make efforts to improve the quality and availability of resources in the field of AI systems development, i.a. by: • increasing the availability of data (including marked up data), • ensuring the compatibility of the developed AI systems where applicable; • creating conditions for the formation of a international school of AI technologies development, including publicly available repositories of libraries and network models, available development tools, open international frameworks, etc.; • sharing information about the best practices of AI technologies development; • organizing and hosting conferences, hackathons and public competitions, as well as high school and student Olympiads, or participating in them; • increasing the availability of knowledge and encouraging the use of open knowledge databases; • creating conditions for attracting investments in AI technologies development from private investors, business angels, venture funds and private equity funds; • stimulating scientific, educational and awareness raising activities in the field of AI by participating in the projects and activities of leading research centers and educational organizations.
