Young AI Leaders (AI For Good)

It would be a success if concrete examples of how the civil society (and especially Youth) bears the effects of AI are shown (ex: Grok on X and bikini pictures, cyberbullying with deepfakes, cognitive offloading and brainrot among all kinds of populations but worse for children...). It is very important we keep in mind the real, concrete, real-life examples.

• Open-source software, open data and open AI models
• Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI
• Protection and promotion of human rights

The Young AI Leaders of Paris, from AI For Good, want to believe in a world where AI could be used for good the most. However, the AI effects and consequences are still unbearable today despite the endless conversations and papers and reports and assemblies. We must keep in mind the real-life consequences (for which we try to have a positive and real impact through small, civil society-like projects), and the protection of human rights and especially fundamental rights, that are worsened by AI. We also believe in a world where open source lets everyone taking benefit from the good of AI.

I would say AI Law, AI regulation and especially AI and cognitive consequences, AI and the brain. This is a very alarming situation for Youth and children, who might make the next generations uniform and "brainless".

They are all affecting Youth but not really, because this is still very abstract and we need real-life concepts. It seems like this is very advances in France and/or Western countries but the reality is far from it, so everything and everyone is affected and has their consequences worsened. Open source is still not thriving enough for education and youth, AI regulation and governance is not strong enough for the real world (too long to process, to slow compared to tragedies). However opportunities are endless if we focus on real life and impactful projects and ideas and soft power, especially for different and/or marginalized communities, young or not.

It is highly impotrant we take into account all voices and especially the civil society voice, hey are the one beign affected by AI the most, therefore the international cooperation on AI governance would be richer and more atuned with the world, and generating more positive elements.

The Young AI Leaders community is an existing intiative (42 Hubs in the world) made of Young people between 18 and 30, by AI For Good and the ITU (International Telecommunications Union by the United Nations). I strongly believe they are ESSENTIAL for this conversation and the AI Dialogue. We could bring real life experiences, our work we have done made of "what should we do to make AI for good, once for all?!", our projects, and the impact we want to achieve. We have both the expertise (already in the workforce) but also the experiences of being highly connected to the Internet and AI, with all the consequences within.

I would recommend a series of workshops and panels with 5 to 10 minutes for each stakeholder, showing a solution, very concrete, very impactful. Nothing useless.

Youth is underrepresented and yet they are the ones the most affected by the bad consequences of AI. They coud be included by showcasing experiences and problems, and mainly ideas of solutions to counteract them.

A series of 1 stakeholder = 1 solution on stage. 5 minutes to show that idea (made or not), perhaps 2 minutes if the jury has a question.

Unfortunately not so much, because the theory is always good on paper and nothing is shown in real life. The fear of paying might be useful most of the time in governance though.
