Talking to Machines: How Should Governments Govern AI Designed to Sound Human?

​​​​Overview

​When AI is designed to sound human, people treat it as human. This shifts trust, dependency and the choices users make. This session looks at where current rules, including UNESCO and the EU AI Act, address this question, where they fall short, and what civil society and practitioners should push for next.

​Alina Solotarov, founder and director of the Centre for International Cooperation on AI, will share her work and host a practical conversation on language, design and accountability. Her background spans philosophy (BA/MA, University of Oxford), business (MBA, SKOLKOVO), and futures research (MA, Freie Universität Berlin), with a focus on the cultural and societal dimensions of AI.
