• Promoting Ethics in AI: The discussion emphasized the need to integrate ethical perspectives in AI to address the complex moral dilemmas caused by automated AI systems.
• Strengthening AI Systems' Security: AI system security requires a granular assessment of potential impacts and the integration of ethical reasoning throughout the AI lifecycle.
• Regulation and International Cooperation: Regulating AI poses legal challenges and requires democratic dialogue to inform regulatory decisions and ensure AI is more inclusive and human-centric.
