In this special edition of Retail Mavericks, we speak with world-renowned artificial intelligence expert Toby Walsh about all that is AI. We cover a lot of interesting areas from killer robots to ethics to the 4 Ds of AI/robotization and the year 2062.
In episode 1 of 2, we cover:
• What do killer robots and autonomous cars have in common?
• What problems can AI be used to solve?
• Ethical engineering: understanding the ethical dimensions of AI, what are they? Why should we care about them? Think about this: there will be a time in the future when AI will make decisions that we humans just cannot understand, so having Transparency & Explainability (one of 8 Core Principles of AI) built into algorithms is going to be important, right? Maybe.
• Challenges we face in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Do we need to add another "A" to AI? Why autonomous is the basis of AI's future.
• What is the future and relationship between AI and humanity? Are things such as universal basic income and taxing robots the way to go.
This episode is a part of academia-focused series featuring your usual host Milena Salmon and guest co-host Dr Alvaro Flores, Mathematician and Data Scientist at HIVERY.

In 2015, Professor Walsh helped launch an open letter calling for a ban on autonomous weapons or ‘killer robots’ that was signed by more than 20,000 AI researchers and high profile scientists, entrepreneurs and intellectuals, including Stephen Hawking, Noam Chomsky, Steve Wozniak, and Elon Musk. He has since been invited by Human Rights Watch to talk at the United Nations in both New York and Geneva. You can sign the petition to ban lethal autonomous weapons here:
