How to do AI ethics when all you have is a napkin
Ethics is the process of justifying the best reasons for action. It asks us to step back and consider, of all the ways we might act, which is best and why? This process is often challenging and confronting, requiring diverse inputs, rigorous thinking and the courage to take action in alignment to the values we hold most dear. But this need not always take weeks or cost a fortune. In this session, Nate Kinch, AI Ethicist, will share a practical approach to AI ethics that can be done usefully in as little as 15 minutes.
