AI.Humanity Ethics Lecture Series: "The Unrealized Promise of Artificial Intelligence" with  Ifeoma Ajunwa

 

AI.Humanity Ethics Lecture Series: "The Unrealized Promise of Artificial Intelligence" with Ifeoma Ajunwa
As society increasingly relies on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, how can ethically committed individuals and institutions articulate values to guide their development and respond to emerging problems? Join the Office of the Provost to explore the ethical implications of AI in a new AI.Humanity Ethics Lecture Series. Artificial intelligence was forecasted to revolutionize the world for the better. Yet, this promise is still unrealized. What can be done? The answer is two-fold: One part looks to what can be done to prevent the reality of automated decision-making both enabling and obscuring human bias. The second is to look towards proactive measures that could allow AI to work for the greater good.
