Today we had a great panel moderated by TechArena Founder & Principal Allyson Klein, with panelists Florence Chee, Peter Mattson, Matty Bakkeren, and Dave Graham.
As the panel was discussing the current state of AI research and products and how we got there, they also pondered how to continue to advance the AI space in a more ethical and planned manner, instead of just saying “hey we did the thing, it works!”
As we wrapped up I left the panel with a question, and I hope they and the community here could chime in if you want to share your thoughts.
As we’re talking about all the potential issues with AI, what are some good examples you’ve seen where a company, an org, or a project is leading their technological advances with ethics and responsibility in mind?
Highly recommend you all watch the recording here, it’s a great way get into the right mindset of how to think about AI and how it can be used for good.
I also wanted to share some of the resources that was discussed:
