Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have spurred the emergence of new industries, transforming fields such as text generation, image creation and speech recognition. Large-scale models like ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E 2 exemplify AI's widespread deployment, driving global economic and social development.

These developments, however, also bring new challenges in areas such as law, security, employment and ethics. The 2023 Artificial Intelligence Index Report by Stanford University reveals a sharp rise in incidents involving the misuse of AI, as tracked by the AIAAIC database, which monitors ethical concerns and controversies related to AI.

The AIAAIC database reveals that the number of such incidents has grown 26-fold since 2012, with notable cases like U.S. prisons using AI-powered call-monitoring on inmates. This rise reflects the broader adoption of AI technologies and the growing awareness of their potential for misuse.

Governments worldwide are focusing on AI governance to balance innovation with social and ethical risks. According to the Stanford report, AI-related legislation has surged, with mentions of "artificial intelligence" in bills increasing from one in 2016, to 37 in 2022 across 127 countries. Similarly, AI references in parliamentary records from 81 countries have surged 6.5 times since 2016.
