In his talk, Neil Leach spoke about the rise of AI prevalence in the last 100 ears, with emphasis on the rapid, borderline uncontrollable, rate of research and breakthroughs being put out. What stood out to me the most was his fear surrounding the lack of concern for safety measures in the field.

Some objectives would be to establish ethical principles, ensure transparency, protecting data privacy, maintaining security, and establishing accountability.
