AbstractArtificial intelligence and machine learning have unlocked countless insights and data-driven results within the research community. At the same time, we’ve seen how AI contributes to diversity problems we face today, even amplifying bias within the scientific community.
In her talk, Abby will explore the benefits, harms and side effects AI has on researchers and society at large. Scientists have been at the forefront of ethics and tech with each new discovery, from the atomic bomb to personal genomes. The research community has an opportunity to act now: AI needs to be designed with the well being of humans – and humanity – in mind.
This session will be introduced by Bastian Greshake Tzovaras.
