Japan’s HIROSHIMA — The heads of the biggest economies in the world called for international norms on artificial intelligence on Saturday, indicating that the issue was important but failing to reach any meaningful decisions on how to handle the new technology.
Artificial intelligence is being used more frequently in chatbots, ChatGPT, and self-driving cars, which has forced policymakers and business leaders to consider how to support innovation while also putting in place safeguards to lessen its potential harm, such as privacy invasions, civil rights violations, disinformation, and the unethical use of data

The Group of Seven leaders acknowledged in a joint statement released on Saturday that despite the rapid development of immersive technologies like metaverses and artificial intelligence, international regulations governing their use and compliance have “not necessarily kept pace.”
They claimed that while these novel technologies have chances to foster sustainability and creativity across numerous industries, their drawbacks must also be taken into account.

According to what they wrote, new technologies should be managed following democratic principles, such as fairness, accountability, openness, protection against online abuse, and respect for human rights and privacy.
The G-7 leaders specifically criticized the use of generative AI, or the creation of literature, graphics, and other content that resembles work produced by humans. Concerns have been expressed concerning generative AI’s capacity to produce human-like responses and train itself to increase its accuracy since Chat GPT became widely used.
Some academics caution that generative AI may worsen political division through machine-generated material and make it challenging for individuals to determine which information is reliable or factual as democracies around the world deal with deepening polarization and misinformation.
