About the talk

What is "AI ethics" all about? And what can engineers, data scientists, and others do to develop AI in socially responsible ways? In this session, you will learn what AI ethics is through discussing cases in which AI has gone awry. For each case, we will talk about what went wrong, and what could have been done to prevent it from happening.
