Oh hey, it's the tag that you wish you'd cut out of your shirt, Alley Ward. And for every one of us that has seen AI become more and more present in our lives and wondered, is anyone driving this bus? I have here for you a chat with an expert who tells us exactly who is driving the bus and where it could be headed. Is AI evil? Does AI even care about us?
Is it gonna kill us? Should we feel bad for it? Don't ask me, I'm not theologist. We're going to get to it. Now, this expert is a senior fellow in trustworthy AI and an assistant professor at the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, and they're a cognitive scientist.
They research ethics in artificial intelligence, and they've published papers with such titles as the forgotten margins of AI ethics toward decolonizing computational sciences, the unseen blackfaces of AI algorithms. and the values encoded in machine learning research. So they're on it. And I got to sit down and visit and chat in person when I was in Ireland just last month. Also, just a pleasing aesthetic side note, they were born in Ethiopia but lives in Ireland.
