Ethics of AI in the workplace

February 6, 2021clock60 mins

What are the main ethical issues raised by the use of AI in the workplace? What tools can be used to make sure that humans are put first – and human centred values respected – when AI is used in the workplace? What safeguards should be considered to ensure transparency, explainability, safety and accountability? This are some of the questions that panellists will be called to discuss. The panel discussion will be followed by Q&A.
