About this episode
Virginia Dignum discusses AI paradoxes and her new book on responsible AI.
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . AI abounds with paradoxes. I have been talking about those with Virginia Dignum, professor of responsible artificial intelligence at Umeå (OOMEO) university, about her new book, The AI Paradox: How to Make Sense of a Complex Future, just released, with links in the show notes and transcript. Virginia is an internationally recognized expert in AI ethics and policy who has led initiatives for the European Commission, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, UNESCO, and UNICEF, among others, and is the author of the 2019 book Responsible Artificial Intelligence. We conclude the interview by talking about some paradoxes in detail, like Moravec’s Paradox, questions about using AI in legal decisions, AI literacy, and the recent battle between Anthropic and the US Department of Defense, and OpenClaw. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
