At the World Internet Conference, GSMA CEO John Hoffman dropped a truth bomb: AI development must prioritize ethics and inclusivity. In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Zhou Yiqiu, Hoffman stressed that creating “winners and losers” in the AI race isn’t an option—tech should uplift everyone, everywhere.
AI for Good: More Than Just Tech
Hoffman emphasized that ethical AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. “The GSMA strongly believes in ensuring technology works for all,” he said, highlighting risks like bias and unequal access. His take? Global collaboration is key to prevent AI from deepening divides.
Bridging the Gap: A Global Effort
The CEO called for teamwork among governments, companies, and communities. “We need frameworks that balance innovation with responsibility,” he added, pushing for solutions that prioritize sustainability and fairness.
Young innovators, take note: Hoffman’s message is a rallying cry for ethical tech that empowers—not excludes. Follow the conversation at #AIethics to stay plugged in!
