New Delhi: Artificial intelligence (AI) should be used responsibly and universally regulated following public-private dialogue, US-based digital communications technology firm Cisco Systems said. “I think AI should be regulated. We need public-private policy, a very deep level of engagement. It should be a global conversation, not just a national one.”It applies to all countries, but it needs to be regulated at a global level,” said Jeetu Patel, Cisco executive vice president (EVP). .

The San Jose-based multinational’s comments come on the heels of technology giants such as Microsoft and Google advocating regulatory frameworks for AI.

Cloud, Security and Software-Defined Networking Companies Strategically Leveraging AI Across Their Product Portfolio, New Technologies Should Bring Transparency, Responsible Use Prevents Any Downside I feel I can.

We also need to consider how the model was trained, the bias it may have, the fairness equation, the transparency that needs to be checked, and that’s why accountability is important,” said the top executive. Stated.

Patel said the pace of technological advancement cannot be slowed down, adding that the public and private sectors need to work very closely together to develop proper regulations, including content attribution and copyright.

Meta, Microsoft, Google and OpenAI recently joined the EU discussion on bringing AI into regulation.

The European Parliament has approved legislation to govern the deployment of AI. EU AI law includes norms to ensure that training data used in generative AI tools must not violate copyright law.

AI has a very exciting future, the executive said, adding that the same tools could be used by tricky bad guys. “I do not believe that AI in its current form is very detrimental to human existence.”

The company, led by Chuck Robbins, said the policies and regulations would be very important because without them there would be significant downsides.

The multinational hopes to blend an innovative portfolio of software and hardware-driven innovations with AI as a foundational element, transforming the 40-year-old company into a platform provider.

“AI will be embedded in the fabric of everything we do, so we will need core capabilities that are embedded in our products. The interface (UI) will also be AI-driven,” with a prompt interface,” Patel added.

Cisco recently acquired Armorblox to build an AI-first security cloud. The acquisition will help Cisco’s security business unit push generative AI capabilities to the fore.

The executive added that the multinational has been working on AI for several years and has spent billions on the predictive AI side, adding that generative AI will be an innovative market.

Last month, as part of its AI-driven strategy, Cisco announced artificial intelligence-based security policy management, which will allow firewall policies to be deployed more intelligently.
