It was great attending the AI Fringe conference this morning. Listening to the discussions off the back of the Seoul Summit from a diverse panel around AI safety, responsibility and ethics was incredibly interesting!
It goes without saying that AI is a very fast paced, growing area, but with that has to come the security, responsibility and other considerations of creating, using and commercialising AI models.
One topic from the panel I'd like to highlight is data literacy. To have productive and coherent conversations around AI, everyone involved needs to know what AI is!
- Where is the data coming from?
- How is it used?
- How is your data being protected?
- What do we mean by bias in data?
Empowering everyone in society with the knowledge of how their data is used is incredibly important. Whether high level or technical, this knowledge does not just belong to the few. AI is for everyone and things need to evolve with regards to policy and digital rights.
Bridging the gap between the technical and non-technical, there are some easy things we can do within our organisations to get started:
ℹ️ Be transparent about our AI tools - provide non-technical descriptions and explanations
💡 Share the knowledge - e.g. run internal learning sessions on different topics at a high level
🗣️ Encourage open conversations about AI and data
Do you have any others to add to this list?
