AI is the hottest topic since the last Avengers movie, and Edgar Perez, former Citibank VP, says it’s as game-changing as electricity ⚡. In a special episode of CGTN’s Embrace the AI era: Global Governance Initiative in action, Perez dove into why building trust is the ultimate power-up.
When you stream a new show or order food with an app, you trust the tech behind the scenes. Perez warns that AI needs even stronger trust muscles. Transparency, accountability and fairness are non-negotiables. Without them, we risk a real-life Black Mirror episode where trust goes off a cliff.
Here’s the playbook Perez laid out:
- Open the hood: Make AI algorithms clear and explainable, so users understand the how behind the magic.
- Own the outcomes: Set up accountability checkpoints—think ethical audits and real-time monitoring.
- Keep it fair: Eliminate bias and tech discrimination, so everyone gets a fair shot at AI benefits.
By guarding these principles, AI can level up everything from healthcare to climate modeling, fueling new startups and fresh innovations 🌎🚀.
Long story short: trust is the fuel that powers AI’s rocket. Governments and institutions that nail these principles could unlock a future where AI supercharges every sector—no cap 😉.
