The organised irresponsibility of artificial intelligence

Event details

Andrew J Webster Annual Public Lecture

As the promises of artificial intelligence attract growing social, political and financial attention, risks and responsibilities are being imagined in ways that serve the interests of an elite. In the UK and elsewhere, organisations presume to know and take care of public concerns, while new research communities are forming around questions of AI ’safety’ and ‘alignment’. Drawing on research into public and expert attitudes, and reflecting on his own role in public debates, Professor Stilgoe will discuss what counts as ‘Responsible AI’.
