A deep dive into AI Ethics at Detecon
Interview with expert Isabell Neubert, subject matter expert AI Ethics and Detecon alumni
Not long ago, there was an image of Ukrainian President Zelensky waving white flags of surrender. What has this got to do with your work?
“Ukraine never surrendered, and this was one of the first viral hits of an artificial intelligence creating images that were fake, but if trusted, could do a lot of harm. It was the same with Pope Francis when he went viral in his luxurious white winter jacket.”
Is artificial intelligence prone to be misused?
“I prefer to look at it from a completely different angle: AI is capable of producing output of such superb quality that the world is entering a stage of almost unlimited potential right now. Just imagine what great ideas AI could generate in the fields of climate protection or medical treatment, even disease prevention. However, AI is such a powerful technology that we need strong regulation and consensus on how to use it to benefit.”
You refer to Responsible AI. Why is it so important for economies and societies to pay attention to this discipline?
“Everybody is talking about AI these days, and companies fear that if you don’t jump onboard you will become irrelevant very soon. And it’s true! Since the launch of ChatGPT, everybody had the opportunity to see for themselves just how much potential AI unveils. Decision makers don’t think any differently. However, if things go wrong, the potential to do harm is equally huge, and that’s something that needs to be adressed.”
