EVOLVING AI ETHICS - PHAEDRA BOINODIRIS

• On AI and Bias:
• "There’s a lot of bias in AI because it’s coded by people who have those biases. Being biased doesn’t mean you’re broken; it means you’re human."
• On the Socio-Technical Challenge of AI:
• "Earning trust in something like artificial intelligence is not a technical problem with a technical solution; it is a socio-technical problem which means you need a holistic approach."
• On the Importance of Ethical AI:
• "Even organizations that truly have the very best of intentions concerning their use of AI can end up causing both individual as well as societal harm."
