    The LaCross Institute’s Mission to Advance AI Ethics

    How can we ensure that the AI we build is trustworthy? Responsible? An agent of the great and good, even as their rapidly increasing capabilities continue to astonish us?    Thanks to the generous support of UVA Darden alum David LaCross, the LaCross Institute for Ethical AI in Business at Darden has been created to address these very concerns. We invited the Institute’s co-directors, Professors of Business Administration Yael Grushka-Cockayne and Rajkumar Venkatesan, to discuss the future of this inspiring new initiative, and how they came from unconventional backgrounds to bear the torch of ethical considerations amidst rapid technological innovation.
