📢 We are most fortunate to have Prof David Duvenaud give the opening "micro-level" keynote on Ethics & Society Day of our Summit (Boston, Dec 4-6th): http://algopreneurship.ai David is a Professor at University of Toronto and Vector Institute, having just returned back from a sabbatical at Anthropic. After & alongside a very successful research program on deep probabilistic models, David has begun to explore the new and extremely important world of AGI governance. Ethics & Society Day has three sections: micro (researcher-level), meso (organization-level), and macro (societal). We've never done this before, and are really interested to try it out. In particular, to make progress within each level, between them, and also with the researchers and attendees in Algorithms Day and Applications Day. (Thanks Skyler Wang for the structure!) If you're into AI Ethics and live in the area, come and join the debate on Dec 5th! http://algopreneurship.ai Hosted by Æthos & Thinking About Thinking, Inc

"AI Ethics is a core component of our new Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence, essential for shaping responsible AI practitioners. As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms our world, emphasizing ethical considerations alongside technical skills, we prepare our graduates to lead in creating AI systems that are not only powerful, but also fair, transparent, and beneficial to humanity. " - Dr. Manjeet Rege, University of St. Thomas AI professor and Director of the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence.

When talking about AI fairness and ethics, the debate often tends to focus on the abstract principles but there are some very practical considerations that make LLMs more or less viable for specific use cases in research. For example we've been exploring ways of using LLMs in Public Opinion Research and this paper from Sungkyunkwan University and Hamad Bin Khalifa University is super interesting. The study shows how if you look at LLMs outputs, they tend to match public opinion from polling when analysing audiences in aggregate. But run an analysis of any subgroup and you realise that the LLM outputs start degrading away from the polled outputs, particularly when the subgroup is defined by race, gender, politics and the economy. Granted this was tested on GPT 3.5 Turbo so things might have changed with recent upgrades, but the point is yes you can glean insights on public opinion from an LLM in aggregate but the moment you start looking at subgroups, about 60% of your results are gonna skew away from reality due to multiple forms of bias in the data.

OpenAI's bold move: Funding research into AI morality and ethics As artificial intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace, the question of AI ethics becomes increasingly crucial. OpenAI, a leading player in the AI field, has taken a significant step by announcing its commitment to fund research into AI morality. This initiative aims to explore the complex ethical implications of AI systems and their potential impact on society. OpenAI's funding will support interdisciplinary teams of researchers, including philosophers, ethicists, and computer scientists, to tackle pressing questions about AI's role in decision-making, bias, and human values. Key points to consider: 1. The importance of proactive ethical considerations in AI development 2. The potential for AI to shape societal norms and values 3. The challenge of aligning AI systems with human ethics and morality 4. The role of diverse perspectives in shaping AI ethics research What are your thoughts on this development? How do you think AI ethics research will influence the future of technology and society? Share your insights and let's discuss the implications of AI morality in the comments below. #AIEthics #ArtificialIntelligence #TechInnovation #OpenAI #FutureOfAI Read the Full Article: https://lnkd.in/dV7wsmvs

What system requirements are crucial for its responsible development and use? How can research-based theater effectively engage a broader audience in the inquiry of this investigation? MoralPLai: A Creative Method for Communicating and Co-shaping AI Ethics Research is our new project that implements a creative approach to conducting, educating, and communicating AI ethics research through the lens of the arts (i.e., research-based theater). "Our goal is to demystify AI ethics and scientific research, making it more accessible and engaging for everyone. Through the creative medium of research-based theater, we aim to promote mutual knowledge exchange and collaboration in examining the societal implications and development of specific AI systems. We look forward to seeing the outcomes of this project and are excited to work with our international partners at the University of Notre Dame and metaLAB (at) Harvard.” Franziska Poszler, IEAI Researcher For more information about the project, team and objectives, visit our dedicated webpage and stay tuned for upcoming updates. ➡️https://lnkd.in/eEiGwrty Carys Kresny Christoph Lütge S.

Sure, anyone can deliver on the technical rigor, but at the University of St. Thomas, we are also driven to put technology into context. The AI Ethics course in the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering AI program is an important lens into how AI can impactfully advance the work of our partner companies. And, it is just a part of reason we say we are building something truly special here in Minnesota. #ai #engineeringeducation #ethics
