What If the Next Big Leap in AI Isn’t Just Smarter Technology, But Technology You Could Trust?

The McKinsey Global Institute projects that artificial intelligence could contribute up to $13 trillion to global GDP by 2030. This technology may soon revolutionize fields such as medicine, education, manufacturing, science, and resource management in ways we can scarcely imagine.

However, AI’s potential to disrupt society is equally profound. Catastrophic scenarios could unfold if AI systems pursue goals incompatible with human values, such as commandeering energy supplies and infrastructure or maximizing resources for their own survival. Some leading computer scientists and AI developers estimate a 10-15% chance that, if left unchecked, ‘Runaway AI’ could pose an existential threat, potentially leading to human extinction within a century.

Kate Crawford, a prominent AI scholar, underscores the more pressing risk that AI systems will exacerbate inequality by amplifying biases and concentrating wealth and influence. She uses the term ‘register of power’ to describe how these systems are governed by rules that perpetuate structural biases, favoring existing power hierarchies. These outcomes, where AI deepens societal divides and entrenches existing power structures, represent a critical concern in AI governance. Beyond these structural biases, AI also poses distinct challenges in areas like art, music, privacy, and intellectual property, where its impact is already reshaping these fields in profound ways.

Introducing Structural Parity AI

In response to the significant risks posed by AI, Structural Parity AI offers a unique and groundbreaking governance model. It shifts AI oversight from rules of domination, which limit growth and trust, to rules of shared power, fostering more robust and powerful institutions.

Key attributes of Structural Parity AI include:

• Closing the Implementation Gap: Structural Parity AI is the only industry-grade model that implements governance and ethical frameworks at the systems level, translating principles into action.
• Empowering Public Gatekeepers: By incorporating stakeholder decision-making, Structural Parity AI ensures those impacted by AI technologies have a say in their development and deployment, promoting transparency and accountability.
• Building Authentic Trust: Structural Parity AI helps create institutions that can leverage AI’s benefits while mitigating its risks, resulting in more trusted and capable organizations.
