Navigating between AI utopia and dystopia 

The mission of a non-profit organization AI4All, headed by our guest Emily Reid, is to create the next generation of change makers. In this conversation we tackle the topic of bias – what it is, how it may influence our life when baked into AI applications, and how to mitigate it.  

Emily believes that by inviting people from various backgrounds to create AI and interact with it, we will achieve better AI systems, even if agreeing on universal values seems difficult. The next question is – how to attract more people from various backgrounds to the AI field? For example, Emily shares how the utopian and dystopian scenarios about the AI future can influence people’s interest in this field. 
 
Lastly, Emily shares selected AI use cases, that are highlighting the positive effect of AI usage – Moms First PaidLeave.ai application that supports parents in US to navigate through complexities related to paid parental support, or the applications addressing climate change or critical topics, like clean water detection applications. There is a way to build intergenerational wealth for your community with AI.
