Guest Lecture Focus Abstract: The operationalization of ethical principles, current and emerging legislation, and the understanding and mitigation of potential consequences to individuals and society are key challenges in responsible, trustworthy, and participatory AI development. Responsible innovation and ethical tech are essential to build public trust and meet legal obligations. Participatory AI is an approach to AI development that actively involves various stakeholders, including end-users, communities, and other relevant parties, in the design, development, and deployment processes of AI systems. This method emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity to ensure that AI technologies are aligned with the values, needs, and expectations of the people who will be affected by them. Examples of research projects that bridge the gap between businesses, academia, and people will be presented, demonstrating how the use of ethical toolkits can help build public confidence to question the use of AI in their everyday lives, enhance academic research and provide meaningful public engagement to business. By fostering a collaborative approach, the speaker will illustrate how AI systems can be created to be not only innovative but also aligned with societal values and ethical standards.
