In this podcast, Daniel Faggella speaks with Virginia Dignum about artificial intelligence governance. Dignum challenges the idea of fixating on the potential dangers of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), urging instead that we focus on the real, immediate effects of current AI technologies on society. She highlights the significance of human-machine collaboration and advocates for a global governance framework that ensures accountability and equitable benefits for all, rather than just guarding against hypothetical future risks. The conversation underscores the need for proactive, adaptable governance strategies that tackle existing challenges while recognizing the limitations of current regulations.
