"What would a particular technology do to an individual’s growth and development, their psychology. What will it do to interpersonal relationships? What will it do to how societies operate? What could it do, good or bad, for how a nation operates? What are the geopolitical considerations? But you have to look at, not just at AI. You have to say, is it the use of AI in medicine, where the risks and the benefits will be different to the use of AI in crowd control or detecting terrorism? So you’ve got to think it through. "

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sir Peter Gluckman, President of the International Science Council:
"It’s a bit like with pharmaceutical drugs. We tend… or airplanes. We tend to accept regulators of one country with, as having similar principles and analysing whether a drug is safe or a vaccine is safe or an airplane is fit to fly. While it’s done within jurisdictions, jurisdictions work with each other to have some common standards, even across countries that don’t normally talk to each other or don’t talk constructively all the time to each other."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sir Peter Gluckman, President of the International Science Council:
"The use of more traditional computational techniques, the internet itself in social media, in Bitcoin uses vast amounts of energy. So pragmatically, it’s going to be very hard to regulate, but I think that is a fear and that’s in our report, actually, to say that one of the considerations that could come into its use, its externalities, its impact on energy production, but that, again, needs to be looked at in context. Is this an important issue for this country or this society or not."

"Every country has to sign up to their own what they think as their framework. But it is good if we can have some consensus across the board. Certainly if we try and please everybody, we end up basically pleasing nobody. So we do need to actually make every framework work for our own people."

STORYLINE:
Amid the global scramble to draw up regulations for rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) the International Science Council released a report with guidance for policymakers as they consider how to approach emerging technologies like the new wave of AI powered by large language models.
New Zealand researchers drew up the report for the Paris-based council, and it was released by Sir Peter Gluckman, President of the International Science Council, at an event on Monday evening in the French capital.
Gluckman said the use of AI had to be looked at in different contexts.
"You have to say, is it the use of AI in medicine, where the risks and the benefits will be different to the use of AI in crowd control or detecting terrorism? So you’ve got to think it through," he said in an interview with The Associated Press.
He said regulation of AI, while challenging, could work effectively across separate jurisdictions.
