Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being embedded more and more into our technical and social systems. AI solutions promise increased efficiencies and to streamline arduous tasks and processes, but there is often a lack of familiarity with the ethical risks associated with these technologies. The aim of this presentation is to introduce ‘AI Ethics’ – the pursuit to ensure that when we design, develop and deploy AI systems, they are done so in a way that sits in line with our ethical values and principles.

Framed as ethical risks, it introduces topics that every adopter of AI should be aware of, including:
- A broad overview of what ‘Artificial Intelligence’ means
- The issue of AI Bias
- Job displacement/loss
- AI Safety
- Psychological stress
