On August 22, Aamulehti reported on a significant new initiative by the University of Tampere, which seeks to explore and mitigate the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI). This multimillion-euro research project is dedicated to identifying potential dangers that AI could pose if misused or if malicious AI were to operate unchecked. The project aims to develop preventative strategies and address the ethical and safety concerns surrounding AI, emphasizing the importance of ensuring these technologies are aligned with human values and safety standards.
The research, led by Professor Henri Pirkkalainen, will focus on various aspects of AI’s potential harm, including how these technologies might be exploited or might inadvertently cause harm. The project not only highlights the importance of ethical AI development but also positions the University of Tampere at the forefront of global discussions on AI safety and regulation.
