The ethics of AI technology and business

TRSM - Like Nobody's Business

In March of this year, over a 1,000 technology leaders and researchers signed an open letter, urging artificial intelligence labs and researchers to pause their efforts in training AI systems stronger than ChatGPT. Included in signing the letter were Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, Tesla & Twitter; Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple; and Rachel Bronson, the president of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which sets the Doomsday Clock.

The suggested pause is in an effort to create safety protocols for AI systems as the technology progresses into new territories. Experts worry that without a pause, the systems in place could be mishandled, resulting in a spread of disinformation at a speed that has never been possible before.

On this episode of Like Nobody’s Business, we’ll answer questions like: When looking at ChatGPT and AI technology through a business lens– what ethics are necessary to consider? How can they get ahead of situations with the potential for misuse of the technology? What should businesses keep in mind when applying this technology to systems and processes, and what touchpoints should they be relying on to ensure it’s been executed ethically?

We’ll speak with Dr. Chris MacDonald, an associate professor at TRSM, Director of the MBA program and speaker and consultant on ethics. He explains what aspects of ChatGPT and AI technology businesses should be aware of and taking into consideration.
