Title:

Why we can’t have nice things – the important role of Responsible AI

Abstract:

Many AI technologies are now being integrated into everyday life. However, how can we ensure that AI is ‘responsible’? In this talk, I will review current efforts at developing responsible AI, focusing on transparency, fairness and auditing, and offer suggestions at how we can improve approaches in this area.
