AI ethics podcasts – AI is here and it’s here to stay – in retail and finance, those recommendations you get on Amazon. While still fairly unsophisticated, the direction of travel suggests rapid and wide-ranging applications in the near future that will touch on every aspect of our lives.
But AI is not without its issues – from data and privacy, law, equality. Technology is never neutral. Instead, its applications can shape and reshape the world around us. But more on that in a future post.
My reason for this one is to share 5 fascinating one-off podcasts that highlight some of the complex issues in thinking through AI and its applications. I’m being a little facetious with the title. Alongside the problems come a whole host of opportunities. But now is our best opportunity to shape this future.
And if you’re up for watching some fascinating discussions with a focus on health and care, head over to AI Assisted Health and Care: Must see viewing.
