“In this webinar, Cansu Canca (Founder & Director of AI Ethics Lab) and Laura Haaber Ihle (Associate Research Fellow at AI Ethics Lab & Harvard University) discuss biases in AI, the importance of tackling them, and how to do so in the best possible way.”

“A global conversation on governance, ethics, and regulations around AI. It is crucial we engage in this conversation now in the transition to post-Covid emergency world, where automation and digitisation have been / are progressing at rocket speed.”

“In many countries around the world, COVID-related restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the virus are now being lifted. For policymakers, innovators, and researchers who quickly leveraged digital tools and AI as part of the acute response, this could mean re-thinking and pivoting priorities. As the world transitions to the next phase of response and beyond, the question remains: what is the role of digital tools and AI in a post-pandemic world?”

“Contact tracing technologies have emerged as a potential method for understanding how the virus has spread and how governments should subsequently act. Join YPFP for a discussion on how contact tracing technologies have been implemented around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, and what risks and benefits have emerged.”

As AI technologies increasingly become a part of healthcare in general and radiology in particular, ethical decisions embedded into these technologies become crucial. In this talk, we will explore the ethical risks in research and development of AI technologies and how these risks can be addressed throughout the innovation process using examples within radiology.

“The panel will discuss how AI can be used to predict future behavior and how to identify and address ethical and moral conundrums. Examples for how this technology is already being applied range from AI-based sentencing, policing, determination of insurance rates, conducting of job interviews etc. Whose responsibility is it to assess the social and societal impact of these applications? At what point do ethics come into play? Do they ever? If so, what are some of the concerns? Will ethics help, or do we need regulation and legal frameworks?”

“In the fight against COVID-19, decision-makers need accurate real-time data and information to understand and anticipate where it spreads, the demand on health and care services, and building a strategy to safely end social distancing. This panel will discuss the ethical issues in pandemic preparedness and response focused on data and information.”

“The increasing interest in research involving artificial intelligence (AI) adds a new dimension to individuals who work with human subjects and those responsible for human subject protections. This webinar explores the current protections, regulatory elements and ethics tools associated with protecting human subjects in light of AI research, including a discussion of their current limitations.”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various technological tools are explored. One of them is digital contact tracing. Contact tracing applications raise various questions about their technology, ethics, and implementation.
All Tech is Human brings together experts in the field to discuss and debate:
Should contact tracing be mandatory?
How do we balance our civil liberties with a demand for collective action?

How should the future’s developers, data scientists, and business leaders think about the ethical questions that arise in AI technologies? What does AI ethics mean? How does it become relevant to our lives and to what we create? How can we create better technologies for the betterment of the society?
These are some of the questions we discuss in this seminar.
