Resume:

1.- Near-term advances in AI and robotics will profoundly impact everyone, whether in developing or developed nations.

2.- Much of AI's impact will occur in the background, enhancing safety, healthcare, choices, services, and more.

3.- AI can help manage underdeveloped areas and ensure proper services are provided.

4.- The impact of AI will be faster than originally anticipated. Many major entities are now involved.

5.- The ITU wants to facilitate AI discussions as it impacts every walk of life and corner of the world.

6.- Social implications are already being felt, such as with fully autonomous taxis in Singapore potentially displacing taxi drivers.

7.- However, displacement may be offset by new job opportunities opening up in other areas.

8.- AI can augment doctors' capacities, significantly reduce error rates, and help extend care to underserved populations.

9.- AI enables mapping poverty via satellite imagery in real-time, allowing better allocation of resources to those areas.

10.- The applications of AI are profound, widespread, and immediate. People must be cognizant of this.

11.- Young people should prioritize STEM fields, data science, analysis, keep up with rapidly evolving AI trends.

12.- The 4th Industrial Revolution, books and papers forecasted AI's profound workforce impact. Young people must prepare through education.

13.- Regulation is a hot topic for AI, but standards enabling interoperability may be an initial area to focus on.

14.- Open collaboration and sharing at first, with foundations of standards put in place to then address ethical AI issues.

15.- In the 2025-2030 future, AI assistants may wake you, manage schedules, adjust for changes, give reminders, via neural interfaces.

16.- DARPA works on mind-brain interfaces to record and playback memories. Animal studies show interconnected brains solve problems better.

17.- Theories explore if consciousness is solely human as elements of it may be detectable in insects. The area is rapidly evolving.

18.- The singularity may occur within 10-15 years rather than 50, given the rapid pace of innovations.

19.- Google's Differential Neural Compute has memory, learns and is almost semi-human. Dialog agents are becoming very realistic.

20.- In China, 40M users interacted with Microsoft's Xiaoice chatbot, some falling in love with the intelligent machine agent.

21.- Next year a speaking robot will converse and interact with attendees at a Financial Services Roundtable summit.

22.- The ITU is facilitating member states and organizations to start discussing AI's widespread impacts on all people worldwide.

23.- Awareness and education are key to ensuring potential negative implications of AI don't occur. Principles must be put in place.

24.- European Parliament, US White House papers discuss putting AI principles in place. Tech giants formed Partnership on AI consortium.

25.- Establishing best practices is crucial to responsibly manage AI development and avoid entering into it unprepared. Now is the time.

26.- AI will help achieve all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, from reducing poverty to enabling global partnerships.

27.- AI for social good is about machine learning and AI being used to enable each of those development goals.

28.- Unintended consequences and ethical issues of AI need to be addressed by putting standards foundations in place.

29.- Realistic AI dialog agents are becoming common, with some users forming emotional attachments, raising questions of implications.

30.- Putting AI best practices and principles in place through education, awareness and discussion is crucial to managing its development responsibly.
