Prepare For Auditing AI-Based Governance Systems
As artificial intelligence (AI) makes “greater inroads” into governance, Comptroller and Auditor General of India Girish Chandra Murmu stated on Monday that Supreme Audit Institutions must inevitably prepare themselves for auditing AI-based governance systems and look for opportunities to incorporate AI into their audit techniques to increase their effectiveness.
Addressing the second SAI20 Summit of the SAI20 Engagement Group under the Indian Presidency of G20, Murmu said, “The reality of Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since the term was first coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at a workshop held in Dartmouth. Today, it is an integral part of our lives, whether we realise it or not. There is a curiosity and belief that AI can help countries achieve development goals, impacting economic growth while simultaneously disrupting labour markets.”
Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 Sherpa, also spoke at the SAI20 Summit, which will cover two topics over two days: the Blue Economy and Responsible AI.
Highlighting the need for responsible AI, Murmu said, “Considering the power, possibility and perils of AI, it is essential that policy makers put in place processes to responsibly harness the potential of this technology.”
