Pride and Prejudice – Implementing Ethics into AI development
Abstract
Trading, identifying, hiring, or firing – advances in ML drive innovation across sectors and societies. At the same time, it has become clear that there are significant challenges emerging from the use of AI systems. Some of these are quite general and as old as humanity itself. Others are very specific to ML, forcing us to reflect on our cultures and our values. This talk will address the challenges associated with AI development. It will discuss the difficulties of risk prediction, responsible innovation, and the importance of communication between research cultures.
