Aidan McCullen: AI is continuously transforming our world, unfurling capabilities with unprecedented accessibility and flexibility.

With nothing more than simple words, we can tap into an incredible variety of services of an ever improving quality.

Today’s adaptable AI models enable robots and systems to respond seamlessly to human commands across various real world applications.

Agent-based models can think step by step to collaborate with other versions of themselves, and even to form AI communities.

We are at a pivotal Sputnik moment set to reshape global society and economies through AI’s transformative power. It’s necessary to take stock of where the recent developments have taken us and to deliberately choose where we want to go from here.

A responsible future for AI requires vision, foresight and courageous leadership that upholds ethical integrity even when tempted to act otherwise.

Such ethical conduct fosters trust. And trust is the linchpin that holds our societal structures together and builds branding power.

That is an excerpt from a brilliant new book, Taming the Machine, Ethically Harness the Power of AI. The book is by a researcher, writer, speaker, and applied tech ethicist.

She is president of the European Responsible AI Office, an AI expert at Singularity University, and pioneers global standards as an AI ethics certification maestro at IEEE.

She advises leading organisations on their machine learning strategies specialising in AI research and ethical advocacy.

And she is the author of that new book, Taming the Machine. Nell Watson, you’re very welcome to the show.

Nell Watson: It’s a pleasure to join you today.
