Ethically aligned design & applied AI ethics with John C. Havens

What is IEEE and what is their “ethically aligned design” initiative? How can positive visions for the future help us create better technology? What do kindness and well-being have to do with AI Ethics? To answer these questions and more we welcome John C. Havens to the show.

John is the current Executive Director of the Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems at The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He is a contributing writer for Mashable, The Guardian, and The Huffington Post. John is the author of Heartificial Intelligence: Embracing Our Humanity to Maximize Machines, among others.

About Radical AI:

Hosted by Dylan Doyle-Burke, a PhD student at the University of Denver, and Jessie J Smith, a PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder, Radical AI is a podcast featuring the voices of the future in the field of Artificial Intelligence Ethics.

Radical AI lifts up people, ideas, and stories that represent the cutting edge in AI, philosophy, and machine learning. In a world where platforms far too often feature the status quo and the usual suspects, Radical AI is a breath of fresh air whose mission is “To create an engaging, professional, educational and accessible platform centering marginalized or otherwise radical voices in industry and the academy for dialogue, collaboration, and debate to co-create the field of Artificial Intelligence Ethics.”

Through interviews with rising stars and experts in the field we boldly engage with the topics that are transforming our world like bias, discrimination, identity, accessibility, privacy, and issues of morality.
