Harvard Computer Scientist James Mickens on The Ethical Tech Project

from The {Closed} Session

Are we walking a tightrope with AI, jeopardizing humanity's ethical core? Is AI more than just algorithms, acting as a mirror to our moral values? And when machine learning grapples with ethical dilemmas, who ultimately bears the responsibility? Harvard's Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science, James Mickens, joins Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya on "The {Closed} Session." Together, they dive deep into The Ethical Tech Project (a think-and-do tank crafting blueprints for ethical data use), Harvard's Institute for Rebooting Social Media, the art of data stewardship, privacy engineering, and the evolving landscape of AI regulation. PLUS bonus content: super{set} Spotlight on Checksum.ai co-founder Gal Vered and his experience so far working alongside Tom, Vivek, and the super{set} team at Checksum. Learn more about The Ethical Tech Project: www.ethicaltechproject.orgLearn more about The Ethical Tech Project's ThePrivacyStack: https://theprivacystack.org/Learn more about James Mickens: mickens.seas.harvard.edu Learn more about super{set}: www.superset.comLearn more about Tom Chavez: www.superset.com/team-members/tom-chavez  /  Tom's LinkedInLearn more about Vivek Vaidya: www.superset.com/team-members/vivek-vaidya / Vivek's LinkedInListen to previous episodes of The {Closed} Session: www.theclosedsession.comLearn more about Checksum:  https://checksum.ai/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
