10. AI and Ethics in Practice: Corporate Perspectives

In this episode, we delve into the critical intersection of AI ethics and corporate responsibility with Ganesan Keerthivasan and Tom Tirpak from ZealStrat, a strategic management consulting firm. Our guests bring unique perspectives: Ganesan, an MD-turned-CEO with a background in healthcare, and Tom, an electrical engineering PhD with extensive experience in AI implementation across multiple industries. They explore five key ethical considerations for AI development, including bias and fairness, privacy concerns, transparency, human-AI collaboration, and security risks. The conversation examines how businesses, individuals, and governments can work together to create responsible AI systems, drawing insights from emerging standards like the IEEE AI ethics framework and the EU's AI Act. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for proactive ethical governance in AI development to avoid the regulatory challenges faced by previous technologies like social media.
