Since 2024, Achim Rettinger is a member of the Policy Working Group on Artificial Intelligence and its Implications for the Information and Communication Space. The international team focuses on the impact of rapid AI advancements on the global information ecosystem.
For this the team is developing a policy framework aiming to ensure the responsible and democratic use of AI in the information sector. The recommendations address four key areas.
- Development and Deployment of AI systems
- Accountability regimes (for developers, deployers, users and subjects of AI systems)
- Ethical incentives (during development, deployment and use)
- Governance of AI
Through this work, the group aims to ensure that AI remains a public good, governed by democratic principles that protect the integrity of information systems and democratic values.
