  1. Practical RAI for Companies

    Practical RAI for Companies

    This week, we’re diving into one of the most important—and tricky—questions in Responsible AI: Are Responsible AI principles culturally relative? If so, what does that mean for companies trying to implement Responsible AI for their products? For example, if fairness means something different in Norway, the United States, or a Muslim country, how can companies possibly implement Responsible AI in a way that works for everyone? To help unpack this, I’m joined this week by Pouria Akbari who is a PhD student who has published several papers on the practical challenges of implementing Responsible AI.

  2. Do We Owe ChatGPT the Same Care as Animals?

    Do We Owe ChatGPT the Same Care as Animals?

    What if the ethical dilemmas we face with animals—like dogs and dolphins—start applying to AI systems like ChatGPT? Should we care about the welfare of AI in the same way we care about other intelligent beings? And at what point on the road to Artificial General Intelligence do we need to pause and ask: Are we causing our AI agents harm? In this thought-provoking episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with philosopher John Basl to explore his groundbreaking paper, “The Ethics of Creating Artificial Consciousness.” Together, we’ll unravel whether AI might one day deserve moral consideration—and what that means for the future of humanity and technology.

    Will GitHub Copilot Make Software Engineers Obsolete?

    This week, I got the opportunity to sit down with Ari LiVigni from GitHub Copilot to discuss the future of coding. Coding assistants are edging closer and closer to enabling developers to build apps using human language.  Does this mean that we can just fire all of the engineers and have product managers build all of our apps?

    Using AI to Combat Disinformation and Misinformation

    Not everything you read on the Internet is true. In fact, misinformation can lead to real-world harm—fanning the flames of antisemitism, inciting riots, and even spreading disease. So, how do we combat disinformation without infringing on free speech? My guest today, Matthew Lease, is one of the leaders of an ambitious project called Good Systems, which is focused on developing innovative AI technologies to protect the information environment. His team is working to support journalists, fact-checkers, and analysts in their efforts to combat misinformation.
