The programming committee for the 79th Annual SAM International Business Conference is pleased to announce the acceptance of the presentation, Ethical Artificial Intelligence Frontiers: Shaping Business & Mitigating Risks by Andrew Taylor, Jack Cook and Jared Cook.

We are thrilled to announce the presentation of a groundbreaking paper at the upcoming SAM International Business Conference, a platform where the brightest minds in business and economics converge to discuss the future of our industries. This year, a highlight of the event will be a comprehensive examination of a topic at the forefront of everyone’s mind: the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) in business and economics. As AI continues to integrate into every facet of our professional lives, understanding its ethical implications has never been more critical.

The paper presents an in-depth analysis of the vast spectrum of opinions surrounding the governance of AI applications within the business and economic sectors. From calls for stringent regulation to arguments in favor of a more laissez-faire approach, the discourse around how we manage the development and integration of AI is as diverse as it is complex. This diversity reflects the multifaceted nature of AI itself, capable of offering unprecedented opportunities for growth, innovation, and efficiency, yet also posing significant ethical and risk management challenges.

At the heart of this paper is a balanced exploration of these opportunities and challenges. The authors argue that while AI holds the potential to transform business and economic landscapes in ways we are only beginning to understand, there is a pressing need to address the risks that accompany these changes. The paper does not merely highlight these issues but goes a step further by offering thoughtfully crafted recommendations designed to harness the benefits of AI while mitigating its risks.

As we look forward to the presentation of this paper at the SAM International Business Conference, we invite attendees to engage with these ideas, to debate, and to contribute to a crucial conversation about our future. This paper promises not only to spark discussion but to provide actionable insights for policymakers, business leaders, and economists alike. It is a call to action for all stakeholders in the AI domain to work together towards a future where technology serves humanity’s best interests, ensuring ethical considerations are at the forefront of AI’s evolution in business and economics.

Join us at the conference for what promises to be an enlightening presentation, offering a pathway towards responsible and ethical AI governance that aligns with our collective values and goals. This paper is not just a presentation; it is a stepping stone towards a future where we embrace the power of AI with wisdom and foresight.
