Designing Ethical AI with Carol Smith

Artificial Intelligence is often given a bad rap. It has an ever-increasing role as the supervillain in everything from science fiction to the nightly news. But is Artificial Intelligence to blame for the unintended mishaps or misuse of the technology? Behind every algorithm and every line of code, there is a human being. These people wield an ever-increasing amount of power over our lives. Our future will inevitably be impacted by code; it will keep us safe, it will take us to where we need to go, it will manage our finances, and myriad other situations.

In this episode, we'll talk with Carol Smith, Senior Research Scientist in Human-Machine Interaction, AI Division at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute and former UX researcher Uber ATG and UX Design Manager at IBM Watson. We'll discuss the role of ethics in technology and more specifically, what it means to create Ethical Artificial Intelligence.
