Facial recognition software, self-driving cars, an increasingly automised workforce – where does responsibility lie for the ethical development and application of AI technologies?
A panel of AI experts grappled with this question during the Times Higher Education Innovation and Impact Summit from 2-4 April at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeaon, South Korea.
Chaired by Dae-Shik Kim, professor of electrical engineering at the Brain Reverse Engineering and Imaging Lab at KAIST, the panel included Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh, executive director of the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge; Tze Yun Leong, director of AI technology at AI Singapore; and Toby Walsh, Scientia professor of artificial intelligence at UNSW Sydney.
