Mitchell Baker and Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar discuss the global imperative of safe, human-first AI.


How can society make the most of AI’s potential?

Laws, regulations, and industry accountability will need to be part of the picture. However, because AI is so different from past technologies, traditional frameworks may not be sufficient to shape AI innovation in an optimal direction.

In this PARC Forum sponsored by Schmidt Sciences, KQED’s Rachael Myrow moderated a conversation between two leading voices on AI governance: Mozilla cofounder Mitchell Baker and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace president Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar.

Drawing on their expertise in leading global safety initiatives and advocating for human-first technology, Baker and Cuéllar examined the challenges that governments and industry face at a pivotal moment when nations, corporations, and society are racing to accelerate AI innovation.

“There are a lot of people who want technology to have better impact on society than we’re seeing today…. So what are the artifacts and the structure, and how do we institutionalize the ability to do something different?” — Mitchell Baker
