Artificial Intelligence and You

Charles Radclyffe's company EthicsGrade grades companies on their AI ethics and governance and he has a lot to sat about what's ethical in AI companies, how to analyze it, what to do with that information, and how businesses can address their ethics. Charles was formerly head of AI at Fidelity International and founded the podcast Are You a Robot?, which I will be on on August 30 (2021).

In part 1 we make some distinctions about bias and privacy and talk about the challenges with both.

All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.

What if you could do for text what Photoshop does for images? What if you could manipulate it and create whole new sections at the push of a button? Przemek Chojecki has a PhD in mathematics, is a member of the Forbes 30 under 30 list in Poland, wrote the new book, Artificial Intelligence Business: How you can profit from AI, and he has built a tool, Contentyze, that does that. We're going to find out what that's like, what made him jump from academia, and we'll even get into NFTs and DeFi.

which is as technical as it sounds. He is a Visiting Professor at University College London, a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a fellow in avionics and mission systems in the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. He has applied the techniques in his book to autonomous cars and autonomous weapons and has given technical advice to the UN meetings discussing potential bans on lethal autonomous weapons. 

In the conclusion of our interview, we talk about how autonomous cars can be designed to be safe and the current tensions in the industry as they try to do that.

We are turning from last week's speculative fiction to hard engineering this week, as Tony tells us how engineering is applied to the problem of accountability and international law in autonomous weapons. How do they fit into the rules of engagement and ethical combat?

Episode 53 means we've reached our one-year anniversary! So we're marking the occasion with a lighter episode pair, a panel talk about AI in fiction: Books, movies, TV shows. I am joined by literary and science fiction educator Dr. Robert James, who is also a published expert on the Academy Awards; and by Jim Gifford, my publisher and the bibliographer of science fiction author Robert Heinlein. All of us were a team on the creation and production of the 2007 convention of Heinlein's centennial.

In part 2 we talk about The Terminator, Star Trek, Wandavision, her, ex Machina, Philip K. Dick, and much, much more. This is a non-stop free-ranging conversation between experts passionate about this field.

AI is changing the law, and on the leading edge of figuring out how that should happen is Ryan Abbott, Professor of Law and Health Sciences at the University of Surrey in the UK, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. We will be exploring issues raised in his recent book The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law. 

In the conclusion of the interview, we’ll be talking about self-driving cars, liability and punishment for AI infractions, and rationales for changing our taxation system for AI-generated wealth.

AI is changing the law, and on the leading edge of figuring out how that should happen is Ryan Abbott, Professor of Law and Health Sciences at the University of Surrey in the UK, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. We will be exploring issues raised in his recent book The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law. 

We’ll be getting into intellectual property, and whether an AI should be able to own them – and patents, and whether an AI can be an inventor of record, and then we’ll be getting into self-driving cars with some new takes on the Trolley Problem, and how the law and regulation should adapt, or has or has not adapted.

All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.
