An upcoming white paper authored by The Hague & Partners Convention Bureau and Ottawa Tourism will claim 63 per cent of global association buyers either are 'very concerned' or 'slightly concerned' about the ethical implications of using artificial intelligence (AI) in event organising and that governments should legislate on its use.
 
However, 65 per cent think governments lack the knowledge needed to legislate effectively.

Of particular concern for the respondents is the use and retention of data obtained by technology companies through AI.  
Some 20 per cent of respondents said AI technology providers are 'not very' trustworthy, with a further 13 per cent saying the same providers are 'not at all trustworthy'.  The 33 per cent outweigh the 27 per cent who 'mostly' trust data providers.

As one possible way forward, 52 per cent of respondents are in favour of an International Standard (ISO) to cover the usage of AI in events.  A further 29 per cent said 'maybe' such a standard should be created.
