What does it take to ensure AI serves humanity rather than undermines it?
Dame Wendy Hall, a pioneering force in AI and computer science, has dedicated her career to tackling this very question. In a recent interview, she shared her insights on the ethical, technical, and societal dimensions of emerging technologies. Despite AI’s potential, Wendy highlights a significant challenge: the lack of diversity in tech, particularly in AI. She recalls her early days in computer science and the frustrating gender imbalance that persists to this day.
Wendy argues that AI’s development must include diverse voices from various disciplines to truly understand its impact. She stresses the importance of ethical AI governance and the need for businesses to integrate AI responsibly.
As AI continues to transform our lives, how can we ensure it benefits everyone, not just a select few? What steps can we take to promote diversity and ethical practices in AI development?
