DESCRIPTION
AI advocate Michelle Frost and principal consultant Hannes Lowette discuss ethical challenges in AI development. They explore the balance between competing values like accuracy versus fairness, recent US regulatory rollbacks under the Trump administration, and market disruptions from innovations like Deep Seek.
While Michelle acknowledges concerns about bias in unregulated models, she remains optimistic about AI's potential to improve lives if developed responsibly. She emphasizes the importance of transparency, bias measurement, and focusing on beneficial applications while advocating for individual and corporate accountability in the absence of comprehensive regulation.
