Abstract:

As the promises of artificial intelligence attract growing social, political and financial attention, risks and responsibilities are being imagined in ways that serve the interests of a technoscientific elite. In the UK and elsewhere, organizations are starting to institutionalize a mode of governance that presumes to know and take care of public concerns. And new research communities are forming around questions of AI ’safety’ and ‘alignment’. In this talk, Pr. Jack Stilgoe will draw on research into public and expert attitudes and reflect on his role as a proponent, analyst and actor in debates about ‘Responsible AI’.
