Digital Brain, Digital Morality: Ensuring Empathetic and Unbiased AI
As the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics on the development of humanity intensifies, our responsibility and oversight must keep pace, to understand how to use these systems, what tasks they should carry out, and their risks.
As far back as 2014, Stephen Hawking said that efforts to create thinking machines “could spell the end of the human race”. As AI rapidly takes off, the potential issues of robots learning on their own – and at a faster pace than humans – have become apparent.
Designing these systems is not just a matter of engineering: it must equally be a deeply social and ethical endeavour. As UNESCO prepares the world’s first standards on the ethics of AI, there is broad consensus that we need to create rules for this brave new world. Collectively, we need to ensure that these systems are human centred, inclusive, unbiased, and ethically coherent – perhaps even more so than our subjective human systems are right now.
Join us for this World Majlis to share your insights and collectively contribute to building a better future.
Highlights
What is human-centred AI and how do we ensure that this is the AI we create?
How do we build trust in technology?
How close are we to achieving globally applicable ethical standards for AI?
What is the best way to communicate this to the general public whose lives are already so dependent on technology?
