Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) raises a wide array of ethical and societal concerns. Accordingly, an appropriate policy approach is urgently needed. While there has been a wave of scholarship in this field, the research community at times appears divided amongst those who emphasize ‘near-term’ concerns and those focusing on ‘long-term’ concerns and corresponding policy measures. In this paper, we seek to examine this alleged ‘gap’, with a view to understanding the practical space for inter-community collaboration on AI policy. We propose to make use of the principle of an ‘incompletely theorized agreement’ to bridge some underlying disagreements, in the name of important cooperation on addressing AI’s urgent challenges. We propose that on certain issue areas, scholars working with near-term and long-term perspectives can converge and cooperate on selected mutually beneficial AI policy projects, while maintaining their distinct perspectives.

“…This wake-up call has resulted in the EC issuing an 'AI for Europe' Communication, that has marked the launch of an ambitious European AI initiative, aimed at boosting innovation in public and private sectors, along with creating 'an appropriate ethical and legal framework' (Kelly, 2020). The text of the EC Communication (and the original Motion) offered to the reader a plethora of references to images of artificial intelligent creatures from mythology and classic literature, clearly a pedagogical maneuver that has however added confusion to the envisioned AI-driven future (Lee, 2018) In April 2021, the Coordination Plan has been updated with regards to the potential of AI ecosystems, at the service of the Green Deal and to address the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the key priorities for the future are: creating favourable conditions for putting the locally developed AI products on the global market, securing fundamental rights protection and contributing joint efforts to six vital policy areas -environment, healthcare, robotics, law enforcement, infrastructure and agriculture (Maas, 2019). It is worth noting that policy-making in the EU has been recently subject to a paradigm shift towards…”

Disruptive technologies and the domination of digital platforms have challenged the global economy players twice — first, to get a hand on them, then to mitigate the possible risks. It is beyond doubt that reliable artificial intelligence (AI) can bring many benefits at the European level, such as better health care, safer and cleaner transport, more efficient manufacturing, and sustainable energy. But regulating the unknown requires considerable effort on how to attract investors using clear rules while keeping human control over the algorithms as a priority. In April 2021, the EU Commission published a holistic proposal to regulate the use of AI, which promises to put trust first and ensure that facial recognition and big data operators will never abuse fundamental human rights. Although the proposal is likely to be amended during EU-wide discussions, the new approach to AI will clearly give citizens the reassurance to adopt these technologies while encouraging companies to develop them. Hence, this article aims to map the core challenges for the EU policy on the use of AI, as well as the milestones of developing the holistic legislative proposal, and clarify if the afore-mentioned proposal indeed solves all the AI-related risks for future generations.
