Joanna J Bryson: Academic Expert in Artificial and Natural Intelligence

In today’s episode we talk to Joanna about AI from a rather philosophical prism, on ethics and much more. Joanna questions the separation between different machines and the special treatment AI receives. She calls for the reconsideration of human awareness of ethics itself, of understanding why we are obliged to each other, which could then make it easier to define and design any obligations towards a device. Joanna explains why is she against machines being responsible for themselves and how building AI that reminds us of people might lead to less transparency in society. And lastly, she gives examples of how interdisciplinary research can be organized in such a way that allows us to understand more.
