Join Helen Todd (Human), Founder and Podcast host at Creativity Squared in her presentation, "The Future of Online Communication with AI Avatars" on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 for FREE at the Responsible AI Summit Ever wanted to clone yourself? Now you can! Enter A.I.-created synthetic media beyond deepfakes. The digital extensions of our identity are evolving from cartoon and cyber aesthetic avatars to photo-realistic digital likenesses that are becoming more indistinguishable from their human counterparts. These custom synthetic avatars clone human voices and people’s video presence and are part of a massive and growing digital avatar market that is projected to be $270B by 2030. While you've likely heard of deepfakes that are created without consent, join this session with Helen Todd and her digital clone, Helen 2.ODD, to discover how to ethically leverage synthetic media to grow your brand. You’ll learn how to unlock streamlined video production for social media, engaging customer messaging, and other business communication use cases with A.I.-created avatars, including speaking more languages!

Join Savneet S., Faculty at Emory University in her presentation, "AI Ethics 2.0: Moving Past Quick Fixes" on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 for FREE at the Responsible AI Summit She will be addressing the limitations of current approaches to AI ethics, which often fall short in tackling the complex and evolving ethical challenges presented by AI. Despite widespread efforts to implement ethical practices, issues of bias, inaccuracy, and unfair outcomes persist, highlighting the need for a deeper, more comprehensive approach. Learn why existing ethical frameworks are too narrow, particularly when ethical tools from other domains are applied directly to AI, and why a societal perspective is crucial to ethical AI. The session will emphasize the importance of creating specific sociotechnical solutions and establishing robust ethical governance strategies that go beyond surface-level fixes, aiming to address the root of ethical challenges in AI.

Join Christian Ortiz ✊🏽, CEO at MOD ATLAS MEDIA, LLC in his presentation, "Redefining Intelligence: The Ethics of AI" on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 for FREE at the Responsible AI Summit He will be proposing a framework for ethical AI that is grounded in decolonial thought and anti-oppressive principles. This framework will emphasize the importance of intersectionality—understanding how overlapping identities such as race, gender, sexuality, and disability intersect to create unique experiences of oppression. It will also call for the inclusion of diverse voices in AI development, particularly those from communities that have historically been excluded from technological innovation. Moreover, we will explore the role of regulatory frameworks and community-led initiatives in ensuring that AI technologies are developed and deployed in ways that are socially just and equitable. This includes advocating for transparency in AI decision-making processes, the implementation of safeguards against bias, and the promotion of accountability for the impacts of AI systems. In conclusion, "Redefining Intelligence: The Ethics of AI" is not just about critiquing the current state of AI; it is a call to action. It urges developers, policymakers, and users to rethink the very foundations of AI, to recognize the inherent biases in current systems, and to actively work towards creating technologies that uplift rather than oppress. By reimagining intelligence through a decolonized lens, we can pave the way for an AI future that truly serves all of humanity, respecting and valuing the full spectrum of human experience and knowledge.

Join VERONICA PATERNOLLI, PhD Student at University of Verona in her presentation, "Formalizing Algorithmic Fairness in Legal and Ethical Experience" on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 for FREE at the Responsible AI Summit She will be covering the anatomical elements that make up fair algorithm in a dynamic and complex world. As she puts it, the goal should not be to create a perfect algorithmic mirror of reality but to develop algorithms whose functionality is proportionate to the diversity and complexity of the world. Thus, their impact on society would not obscure uncertainties and ambiguities but instead enable the identification of assumptions and components, fostering a hybrid consciousness—a union between the human aspect, endowed with high levels of sensitivity, and the artificial aspect, grounded in the strict principle of technological neutrality. Therefore, future prospects for the use and implementation of AI will depend on our capacity for creativity and design, or rather on the transparency of its functions and regulatory mechanisms, which should be comprehensible and widely accessible so that everyone can equally benefit from AI's capabilities.

Join H. Titilola Olojede, PhD, Assistant Professor / Head of the Philosophy department at National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) in her presentation, "Reflecting on the Impact of GenAI in Education" on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 for FREE at the Responsible AI Summit She will be covering a study focused on the extended impact of using generative AI. The study addresses the consequence of the continuous use of chatGPT on users. While there are various regulations on AI use, such as UNESCO (2021 & 2023), there is a need to harness and discuss the possible implications of GenAI on cognitive development and honing of users. What lines should you draw regarding leveraging AI’s capabilities and ensuring the development and preservation of human skills? Should there be limit on use?
