39: AI Ethics & Responsible AI Development
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI are swiftly permeating our daily lives. From customer service chatbots to healthcare diagnoses, from writing loan applications to job hiring, the disruption is here. Many believe AI is fundamentally changing the way we do things. But since this premise of large-impact change is widely accepted, the question becomes: will this change be for the better?</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It's critical to address the ethics of AI: how this technology disruption could reinforce or subvert current inequalities to improve or worsen them, or even create new inequities. To do so, we must understand how and where AI is most likely to exacerbate or cause inequities. With these vulnerabilities in mind, leaders must thoughtfully consider how to proactively prevent inequity in AI adoption globally.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In this episode of Imagine Your Future, we examine ethical challenges posed by AI and discuss the need for responsible development to mitigate the potentially damaging effects.
