Subject: [CPWG] AI/ML Limitations - ICANN80 reminder

Hello All,

I am rather bullish on the future of AI/ML, however, I think it is prudent to be mindful of its current limitations. I recently participated in a conference where the host offered the ability to have AI summarize the presentation. The panelists for a session I was moderating opted not to use this feature because of the highly legal and regulatory nature of the session. Having looked at the AI summarizes from other sessions, I think that this was a good session.

I was reminded of this fact today.  While listening to the Next gTLD round zoom session, I was concurrently reading the transcription from the GAC opening session. I did a double take when I saw the GNSO was responsible for the slaughter of over 1 million Tutsi in 1994. (see below)

I believe that ICANN Org does not generally edits its transcripts, however, I would hope that they could make an exception out of respect for those Tusti and other minority ethnic groups that lost their lives. I would not want a future LLM using this ICANN transcript to promote false and inaccurate information. As future LLM models continue to scrape the internet for as much knowledge as possible, we must never forget the old adage Garbage In Garbage Out.

Best regards,

Michael
