Navigating the Future
Artificial intelligence – it’s profoundly transforming the way that we perform tasks – the way that we create – and profoundly redefining the way that we work. It’s a technological revolution that’s been compared to the advent of the industrial age. It’s definitely here to stay. You’ve seen the “how to courses” about using AI. But what about the ethics of how we use AI in the workplace – as individuals, as companies, as organizations? How do we address issues of transparency? Fairness? Responsibility? Privacy? How do we leverage the phenomenal advances that AI is making possible, while critically thinking about its strengths and weaknesses?
