CASMI Prime Seminar with Jim Guszcza: "Envisioning a field of human-machine hybrid intelligence architecture"
May 6, 2022
AI promises to improve human decision-making and fuel economic growth, but today’s state of the art suffers from serious shortcomings. Reports abound of AI technologies that compromise human safety or wellbeing, treat people unfairly, amplify societal biases, undermine human autonomy through manipulation, and amplify the spread of misinformation and polarizing content. On a purely practical level, Gartner has estimated that 85% of big data projects never make it to production.

While ethical principles in AI use have been a focus for years, it is an open question whether we are making progress toward actualizing those principles or toward establishing safety in the use of intelligent systems.
