The Age of AI with Kat Zhou and Dr. Jason Millar

This year, ChatGPT changed the way we think about AI. A tool that’s come closer to emulating human thought than any of its predecessors seems irresistible from an efficiency standpoint. But for those in the for-good space, what are the ethical implications of integrating advanced AI into our workflows?

In this episode of Ampersand, we dig into the ethics of AI with Kat Zhou (creator of the Designing Ethically project) and Dr. Jason Millar (Canada Research Chair in the Ethical Engineering of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, University of Ottawa). Our guests bring both lived experience of working and studying the tech industry responsible for the latest innovations in software engineering, and offer wise words for communicators having to navigate these new tools thoughtfully.
