AI is shaping our world -- but who’s shaping AI? Finally getting around to sharing this. I had a great conversation with Brandeis Magazine about AI’s impact and the tough questions we need to ask. AI isn’t neutral. If we’re not careful, it can reinforce bias instead of challenging it. Instead of just asking what AI can do, we should be asking what it should do.

As AI technologies become increasingly integral to our daily lives and decision-making processes, concerns arise about their broader implications. Frank Pasquale warns that while AI has the potential to enhance efficiency and innovation, it also poses significant risks. Without proper safeguards, these systems could prioritize surveillance and control over fairness and privacy, disproportionately affecting society's most vulnerable members, who may find themselves subjected to constant monitoring and judgment. #RJxTP #AIEthics #TechPolicy #AlgorithmicBias #AIEthics #PrivacyMatters #DigitalRights #AlgorithmicJustice #ResponsibleAI Brandeis University The Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University
