Summary:
In 1950, science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of short stories that imagined the development of “positronic” robots with artificial intelligence. The explosion of the everyday use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed life as we know in society, so much so that we cannot image our lives without it. Yet in Asimov’s stories, humanity wrestled with the moral implications of that technology. In today, we face those same struggles. As analysts, developers and architects, we have a professional obligation to ensure that solutions we develop, especially those involving AI and Machine Learning, promote benefits to society and do not cause harm. Just like the Jedi guarding the Stars Wars universe, we should be guided by justice and equity in the pursuit of knowledge and extending capabilities through responsible AI use and application. In this session Joy will explore impacts of AI citing cases, contrast the responsible approaches to AI, and encourage accountability.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Identify the various applications of AI
- Recognize intended and unintended impacts
- Compare responsible approaches to AI developments and uses
