Race to AI: Portugal defends technology at the service of people

Portugal defended that the development of Artificial Intelligence should not be treated as a race for technological supremacy between countries, but rather as a process that requires international cooperation to ensure that its benefits are shared equitably. This position was taken within the context of an international forum dedicated to the topic of AI, where debates were taking place about the limits and speed of technological advancement in this area. The Portuguese government argued that the response to the challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence cannot be restricted to competition between nations for dominance of this technology. The Portuguese position emphasized the need for collaboration between countries, companies and innovators as a way to ensure a fair distribution of the advances and benefits provided by AI.
