About this event
Much of our daily lives as consumers intertwine with artificial intelligence. There is no doubt that artificial intelligence is a powerful technology, and with that power comes responsibility! While AI has gained significant traction in the past year, it also gave rise to another critical discussion around the ethical and responsible use of AI. Everyone knows why Responsible and Ethical AI is necessary, but no one knows how to do that effectively. AI will not solve all of our problems permanently, but it can, and will present us with new solutions. You can develop and use these solutions effectively with proper planning, continued maintenance, and above all, a foundation of attuned human supervision.
Australia's Ethics Framework attempted to set forth some guidelines late-last year; however, just like any other guidelines, the framework only sets up high-level expectations. As far as the companies using and developing AI are concerned, they still need something actionable and measurable so that they can confidently design and implement AI solutions, ethically, and responsibly.
The panel aim to give the audience an understanding of AI ethics and Responsible AI, discuss how they are different and what they mean for business in general. The focus of the event will be the practicality of the Responsible AI, so this will lead to some actionable insights to go from the framework to real-life implementations.
In addition, Anand will organize for a discount code to all attendees at the end of his presentation to all existing ACS members.
