In Machines We Trust: Concerning AI ethics
About this episode
The best definitions of AI are vague, largely lack consensus and represent a huge challenge for lawmakers and legal scholars looking to regulate it. But back to back breakthroughs and rapid adoption of generative AI tools are making it feel a lot more real to everybody else. We examine how it’s possible that alone might be enough to push conversations about ethics further into focus.
We Meet:
MIT Technology Review Senior AI Reporter Melissa Heikkilä
Mozilla President Mark Surman
IBM Chief Privacy Officer Christina Montgomery
United Nations AI Advisor Neil Sahota
