[NRIs] Community-driven governance for safe AI

When we are talking about national regional, sub regional and youth initiatives each of them have different topic that's are important in their respective jurisdictions and home regions. It's really important to remember that it is, A.I. really holds an immense importance for our societal development and offers a lot of transformative opportunities across various sectors. A.I. has the potential to enhance efficiency, productivity and innovation and drive a lot of economic growth and address a lot of challenges we have in the society.
From healthcare, of course coming out of pandemic, from education to transport and energy, this emerging tech can really revolutionize the processes and improve a lot of decision-making.
But amidst all of this really good things that A.I. can bring us, we always have to remember that there are harms. And we definitely need good governance to be able to leverage its actual benefits to humanity.
So talking about safe A.I., we need policies. We need appropriate regulations and ethical frameworks to guide the development of this. We need to ensure accountability, transparency, and fairness in the design, the deployment and use of A.I. systems.

TAKEAWAYS
