What 40 Years in AI Teaches Us About AI Governance and Safety

In a conversation with Dr. James Ong, a veteran in AI governance, the focus was on ensuring sustainable development in the AI industry to prevent repeating past mistakes that led to the AI winters of the '80s and '90s. Ong emphasized the need for AI to be sustainable across technology, governance, and commercialization simultaneously and has advocated for AI to be recognized as a UN Sustainable Development Goal. He raised concerns about the risks of agentic AI systems that act independently and the erosion of trust in voice AI due to deepfake audio, urging developers to include human intervention points, enhance data control, and contribute to AI governance frameworks. These small, consistent actions by developers are seen as pivotal in steering AI towards a more ethical and sustainable future.
