Committee : ECOSOC
Problematic : ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (bionics, home automation, drone ...) to the onslaught of the real economy.
Delegation: UK
Honorable chairs, fellow delegates,
First of all I would like to remind that AI or artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning reasoning and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision.
AI was coined by John McCarthy, an American computer scientist, in 1956 at The Dartmouth Conference where the discipline was born. Today, it is an umbrella term that encompasses everything from robotic process automation to actual robotics. It has gained prominence recently due, in part, to big data, or the increase in speed, size and variety of data businesses are now collecting.
Increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can bring major social and economic benefits to the UK. With AI, computers can analyse and learn from information at higher accuracy and speed than humans can. AI offers massive gains in efficiency and performance to most or all industry sectors, from drug discovery to logistics. AI is software that can be integrated into existing processes, improving them, scaling them, and reducing their costs, by making or suggesting more accurate decisions through better use of information. It has been estimated that AI could add an additional USD $814 billion (£630bn) to the UK economy by 2035, increasing the annual growth rate of GVA from 2.5 to 3.9%.1 Our vision is for the UK to become the best place in the world for businesses developing and deploying AI to start, grow and thrive, and to realise all the benefits the technology offers. The pioneering British computer scientist Alan Turing is widely regarded as launching and inspiring much of the development of AI. While other countries and international companies are investing heavily in AI development, the UK is still regarded as a centre of expertise, for the present at least. Therefore we strongly work to build on Turing’s legacy to ensure the UK remains among the leaders in AI.
To continue developing and applying AI, the UK will need to increase ease of access to data in a wider range of sectors. Nevertheless To develop more AI, the UK will need a larger workforce with deep AI expertise, and more development of lower levelskills to work with AI. This is why we want to increase PhD places in AI at leading UK universities, attracting candidates from diverse backgrounds and from around the world, and create a market research to develop conversion courses in AI that meet employers’ needs
Action to grow AI capability in the UK - in particular on data and skills - matters now because early leaders (could gain major and lasting advantages from taking a lead in building and using AI. AI matters here because the UK is one of a group of countries leading in AI. That advantage could be built on successfully, or it could be lost. Industry outside the UK is taking up AI. UK industry will need compete. The UK also has a unique position in terms of the history of development of AI. Public support has been highly effective in the past in enabling the UK to make advances in AI. AI matters now because the technology has matured to the point that it can be applied widely. Even though AI technologies have been in development for decades, and have been in use in some consumer services for several years, the past five years have seen an unprecedented level of interest and investments in AI which has led to a very fast pace of new discoveries and improvements, even by the standards set by previous digital technologies.
This why the delegation of UK believes in order to tackle the issue, to implement few measures such as industry-funded Masters programme in AI,
greater diversity workforce,or new international AI Fellowship Programme for the UK to sensibilise the future citizens and empower this field.
Thank you.
