Description:
This workshop will explore the ethical issues emerging from the boom in the development and use of AI tools, including Generative AI models such as ChatGPT. Many questions arise from the race to commercialise AI applications, some of which have been shown to be flawed and potentially harmful. The development of legal and regulatory frameworks lag way behind the pace of technological advances in Large Language Models and other Generative AI tools, leaving gaps which are being exploited by commercial developers for profit - but at what cost to society?
