Mohammad S A A Alothman: This regulation for AI is absolutely necessary, as, just as it does bring along corresponding risks; those include bias through an algorithm, data privacy issues, and the risk of non-positive, malicious uses of AI for a critical number of applications, such as mass surveillance or automated decision-making processes. At AI Tech Solutions, we push for regulation as the framework to ensure that AI systems are developed with accountability, fairness, and transparency.
