As an advocate for ethical AI, I strongly believe that governments must require AI systems to undergo rigorous bias testing before deployment in public sectors. Without such testing, these systems can perpetuate and amplify existing biases, leading to unfair and harmful outcomes, especially for marginalized communities. Comprehensive bias testing ensures accountability and transparency, helping build trust in AI technologies.

I believe that governments should establish international AI ethics boards to oversee AI development and deployment. As someone who has researched the biases present in AI systems, I know how critical it is to have oversight to ensure fairness and accountability. Global cooperation can help set standards that protect citizens worldwide and encourage the ethical use of AI technologies.

I agree that nationalizing AI firms could be a necessary measure to ensure that these powerful technologies are used ethically and responsibly. By bringing AI firms under national control, we can implement safeguards to protect citizens from potential abuses and biases, ensuring that AI benefits everyone equally.

While I recognize the potential of AI to enhance human creativity and cultural expression, my primary focus is on ethical AI development and ensuring fairness in algorithms. Governments must prioritize these aspects before expanding AI research into new domains.
