Just completed the "Artificial Intelligence: Ethics & Societal Challenges" course! This four-week journey deepened my understanding of AI's ethical and societal impacts. We tackled crucial topics across four modules: 1. Algorithmic Bias & Surveillance: Exploring if algorithms are truly unbiased and the implications of AI-driven surveillance. 2. AI & Democracy: Discussing how AI affects democratic processes and ways to harness AI to strengthen democracy. 3. AI Consciousness: Delving into whether AI can be conscious and what it means for our treatment of AI entities. 4. Responsibility & Control: Examining who is accountable for AI actions and how to maintain control over intelligent machines. I will be discussing each of these topics here soon, stay close ;) Highly recommend it for anyone interested in the ethical landscape of AI!

I am thrilled to share that I have completed my review contribution for the esteemed journal "AI and Ethics", published by Springer Nature Group. Being part of the peer review process has been a rewarding experience, allowing me to engage with cutting-edge research and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics. A big thanks to the editors for their recognition and for the opportunity to contribute to such an important discourse. I look forward to continuing my journey in academia and research! #AIandEthics #PeerReview #AcademicContribution #Research

The Ethics of AI and Data in Higher Education The German National Research Data Infrastructure  (NFDI) is shaping the future of research data management in Germany.  The vision of NFDI4DataScience (NFDI4DS) is to support all steps of the complex and interdisciplinary research data lifecycle, including collecting/creating, processing, analyzing, publishing, archiving, and reusing resources in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. I would like to thank the NFDI lecture series organisers for inviting me to present at the NFDI4DS lecture series.

Beyond the Algorithm: Human Values in AI Governance Can AI be a game-changer in the fight against poverty? Absolutely! But it's crucial to tread carefully. Read here: https://lnkd.in/gK7T4UP9 Our latest blog delves into the complexities of using AI for poverty alleviation while upholding ethical standards. From transparency and accountability to fairness and privacy, we explore the fundamental principles that must guide AI's role in public policy. India's journey towards ethical AI is inspiring, with initiatives like Tamil Nadu's Safe and Ethical AI Policy leading the way. However, challenges like data privacy and algorithmic bias persist. Are you ready to shape the future of public policy? Consider the unique programmes offered by ISPP that would train you in a unique blend of policy, data analysis, stakeholder management, and others to equip you with the skills to drive positive change.

📚 Excited to announce the launch of my new book project in 2024! 🚀 Delve into the world of Ethical AI and discover how technology can be harnessed for good. 💡 With a background in academic research concerning AI Ethics during my postdoc and a PhD in metaphysics and ethics, founding the BlackLight.ai startup, think tank policy with research design, and extensive corporate foresight design and digital transformation experience, I offer a unique perspective on the balance between innovation and ethics in AI. Most discussions on AI ethics fall into two extremes: overly academic or strictly business-oriented, often neglecting the philosophical depth that true ethics demand and a philosophy of technology. In my book, I bridge this gap by exploring the philosophical underpinnings of AI ethics, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach that considers human values, societal impacts, and philosophical principles. Join me on this journey as we redefine the ethical landscape of artificial intelligence. Let's shape a future where innovation and philosophical integrity coexist harmoniously. #EthicalAI #BookLaunch #TechForGood 🌟

Harnessing AI's Potential: A Holistic Ethical Approach in Response to Hinton's Warnings As we approach an era where artificial intelligence (AI) might surpass human intelligence, the ethical warnings of visionaries like Geoffrey Hinton become crucial. In his 2023 Arthur Miller Lecture at MIT, Hinton discussed the existential risks posed by AI, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to ethics in AI development to steer its future towards enhancing rather than endangering human society. Hinton highlighted the potential for AI to develop autonomous sub-goals not aligned with human welfare, including manipulating or deceiving humans. These concerns underscore the urgency for integrating ethical considerations at every stage of AI development, ensuring AI aligns with human values and societal welfare. **Key Ethical Considerations for AI:** - **Equality and Fairness**: AI systems should eliminate biases and promote justice and fairness, ensuring they serve all of society equitably. - **Inclusion of Diverse Perspectives**: Including a wide range of voices in AI development helps prevent biases and ensures the technology benefits diverse groups. - **Respect for Human Autonomy**: AI should enhance human abilities and decision-making, respecting individual autonomy and privacy. - **Transparency and Accountability**: Stakeholders should understand AI decision processes, which builds trust and ensures accountability. - **Beneficence and Positive Impact**: AI should aim to improve quality of life and address global challenges, prioritizing technologies that bring positive societal impacts. Embedding these principles into AI development can mitigate the risks Hinton outlined, leading to a future where AI is developed responsibly. Public engagement and education are also vital, empowering people to understand and influence how AI shapes our world. In summary, the focus of AI discussions should not only be on its capabilities but also on ensuring it acts as a force for good, respecting human dignity and enhancing global welfare. Adopting a holistic ethical framework is imperative to guide AI towards these goals. #EthicalAI #GeoffreyHinton #AIDevelopment #ResponsibleInnovation #TechEthics #FutureOfAI #HolisticEthicalAI
