Business and AI Ethics: An imperative for future leaders

Presented by Dr Susan Mulcahy, Director of Data Spark Programme, Imperial College London

Companies need to know the impact that new technologies such as artificial Intelligence might have on their business. They can improve their AI ethics by utilising intelligence, ingenuity and inclusivity to avoid unconscious bias.

This masterclass will allow participants to explore ethical considerations surrounding businesses and AI. Participants will be presented with business scenarios where they will discuss the ethical versus legal issues in each one and try to understand at what point a company crosses a line, if at all. They will learn about the topics of unconscious bias and how it can impact them as an ethical leader.

We explore whether there can ever really be such a thing as an ethical company when the drivers for profits may in fact be at odds with one another.

Lastly, participants learn about AI ethics and machine bias, and look at moral dilemmas that are programmed into AI algorithms, as well as how AI algorithm outcomes can go wrong when they are trained on misrepresentative data.
