Utopia or Reality? Will It Be Possible to Create an Effective Artificial Intelligence Standards System?

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is found in all areas of modern life, and its practical importance continues to grow. It creates opportunities, generates problems and risks. Its development is connected with ethical and formal issues related to legal regulations. The purpose of the article is to raise awareness of the achievements to date in the field of international AI standards and to reflect on the possibility of developing such cooperation. This article addresses the issue of universal standards for the security of AI, rather than all the ways and circumstances related to its application. It seems that in view of the dynamic development of AI, the challenge for today is the adoption of universal AI standards consistent with the principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and the most effective would be the adoption of such a system in the dimension of global international cooperation (as the universal system of human rights was formed years ago). Also fundamental to this essay is the question of whether regulation of even selected aspects of AI is possible today on a global level – whether it is still a utopia or already a necessity arising from the need of today.
