Is Anyone Steering This Thing? Clara Hawking on AI Governance

from Women talkin' 'bout AI · host Kimberly Becker & Jessica Parker

AI governance sounds like something for IT departments and government committees. It's not. According to computer scientist, philosopher, and AI governance expert Clara Hawking, it's really about behavior — how we use technology, who gets harmed when we use it carelessly, and whether the systems we're building deserve our trust.In this episode, Clara breaks down what AI governance actually looks like in practice ... including a professor who unknowingly violated GDPR by grading students through his personal ChatGPT account, to the risks that compound (not just add up) when AI, biotech, robotics, and quantum computing start feeding into each other. We also get personal about what it means to govern ourselves first, before we can ask anything of institutions.If you've ever seen the words "AI governance" and assumed it had nothing to do with you — this one's for you.Leave us a comment or a suggestion!
