IBM has called for “precision regulation” of artificial intelligence (AI), just 24 hours after a statement by Google CEO Sundar Pichai on the same topic.

IBM officially released its IBM Policy Lab at the World Economic Forum. The initiative is aimed at giving policy-makers suggestions for technology-related problems.

In a post on its official blog, IBM referred to the IBM Policy Lab, saying it supported targeted policies that “would increase the responsibilities for companies to develop and operate trustworthy AI.”

The IT major acknowledged that given the ubiquity of AI there will be never be a one-size-fits-all rules that can properly accommodate the many unique characteristics of every industry making use of this technology and its impact on individuals. 

IBM has also outlined a set of priorities to be taken into consideration when looking at AI regulation, including several directly addressing issues around compliance and explainability.

Incidentally, the Policy Lab was soft-launched in November 2019.
