Dispatch: Debating AI Ethics - How do we Balance Progress and Safety?
Debating age old questions in a radically new era
Hello Friend,
As I walked by the sea this week witnessing its raw power, it made me wonder, as technology and AI races ahead, are there always forces we can’t fully control?
Perhaps. But what is under our control with AI?
Part of that I think requires us to first understand what AI can do, and one of the best ways to do that is to learn, which is why I focus so much on creating my educational guides and courses for AI for you.
But part of that also needs us to reflect a bit, and discuss these issues.
This week for free subscribers I share my latest podcast episode with AI Ethicist where we discuss:
Are we moving too fast around AI? Is the speed of AI development outpacing our ability to ensure ethical use and responsible innovation?
Are AI systems biased? How do biases in AI systems affect their outputs and what can be done to mitigate these biases?
Is AI development aligned with human values? Are we prioritising human values and societal norms in the development and use of AI?
What is the environmental impact of AI? How does AI use affect our natural resources and what can be done to make AI more sustainable?
I’d love to know how you feel about the issues raised, do let me know.
Also for my paid subscribers, I have created a new custom AI Chatbot for helping you create social media posts.
Creating social media posts can be time consuming.
This custom AI Bot can repurpose text such as an article text, and create unique social media posts for platforms such as twitter/X, facebook, linkedin and Substack notes.
You can access this AI Bot and other paid subscriber resources through the new paid subscriber benefits page which you will find below.
And of course as always, you’ll find below access to all my latest key educational AI guides and courses for both free and paid subscribers.
Have a wonderful week.
Take care,
Pranath
