I just answered to UNESCO Public Online Consultation on the draft of a Recommendation on AI Ethics—it was longer and more complex than I thought.
I’d really love to know what other EA’s think of it. I’m very unsure about how useful it is going to be, particularly since US left the organization in 2018. But it’s the first Recommendation of a UN agency on this, the text address many interesting points (despite greatly emphasizing short-term issues, it does address “long-term catastrophic harms”), I haven’t seen many discussions of it (except for the Montreal AI Ethics Institute), and the deadline is July 31.
