- The Artificial Intelligence Act marks a pivotal step toward safer and more ethical AI systems in Europe, with CGI now backing the European Commission’s vision.
- The global IT consulting firm recently signed the European Commission’s Artificial Intelligence Act pledge, underscoring its commitment to align AI development with EU regulatory standards.
CGI’s pledge emphasizes responsible AI deployment across various sectors, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in its operations. This move strengthens CGI’s role in shaping the future of AI regulation in Europe, advancing ethical AI integration into society.
The Artificial Intelligence Act is quickly establishing itself as the centerpiece of Europe’s strategy in relation to AI with CGI coming to this critical legislation’s aid. When it comes to regulations, CGI has not only observed such frameworks but also participated in the altruistic industrial regime by signing the European Commission’s Artificial Intelligence Act pledge. This move cements CGI’s role in obtaining and sustaining the upper hand in democratic control of AI and relates closely to wider EU aspirations for safe AI that can be relied upon.
The Draft European Regulations On Artificial Intelligence Act And Policies To Combat Discrimination In AI Systems places and reaffirms restrictions, to the development of AI systems there are reasonable assurances that Crow will be unharmed. The document manages to balance on one hand AI-related risk factors such as discrimination and bias while at the same time ensuring that there is innovation, but it is done in a managed way. Divorced from real-world social concerns, CGI’s backing of the Artificial Intelligence Act espouses the impact policy-making on society would encompass all and further enrich.
Many organizations have signed the European Commission’s pledge which aims to construct a safer and clearer AI in response to the concern that AI will increasingly dominate society. It is important for CGI to step in at this juncture since AI is currently being deployed in many industries including healthcare and finance without much thought about the medical ethics related to it.
“Given CGI’s extensive footprint in Europe and around the world, as well as decades of experience designing and implementing AI-based solutions for clients, we are proud to join the EU’s initiative to help shape the digital future of Europe,”
Said Jean-Michel Baticle, President and Chief Operating Officer at CGI.
“Responsible use of AI is not only an ethical necessity, but a business imperative. The objectives outlined in the AI Act Pledge are well aligned with CGI’s own responsible use framework which we use for our own operations and in our partnerships with clients in every industry as we envision, explore, engineer, and expand AI solutions and systems within their organizations.”
CGI explained, underlining its support for the development of the European AI landscape. In this context, CGI seeks to commit itself to the development of responsible AI by ensuring the principles of equity, accountability, and transparency prevail all throughout the process of AI development.
To understand the rationale behind the firm’s position on the Artificial Intelligence Act, it would be a matter of simple understanding that compliance is the least aspiration. When it comes to the regulation of the use of AI technologies, such as those that CGC specializes in creating, then CGC is able to remain among the leaders in compliance with global standards of conduct in this sphere; not the other way around. The same logic applies to the implementation of this pledge. In this case, the objective is to safeguard public confidence in AI, which the corporation is eager to achieve by mitigating threats and enhancing innovativeness.

Given that technology is becoming paramount in determining the future, it is important to note that CGI’s advocacy of the Artificial Intelligence Act is a reflection of the organization’s long-term orientation on the role of AI in people’s daily activities.
Fairness and security will always be priorities in any advance in technology. This pledge puts CGI at the forefront of the establishment of new regulatory and governance frameworks related to responsible development and use of technology in Europe.
