Session description

The proliferation of Generative AI has disrupted many industries and is poised to change significant aspects of our society. Without guardrails, we have often seen conversational AI agents overfitting to the bias in the training data which negatively impacts users. At eyeo, we build machine learning solutions on a web-scale, and in order to ensure our models are fair and sustainable, we have taken several concrete steps to transform the input data and calibrate the model evaluation to reflect real-world scenarios. We believe it’s high time to start a discussion around having a formal framework which outlines the ethical considerations for the use of Generative AI and AI in general. During the session, we will explore the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead from a technical and social perspective.

This builds on our session on Ethical AI during TPAC 2023, with a focus on Generative AI.

Additional Information

During the course of the session, we will be making use of this Miro Board, please make sure you are able to view this. The board is password-protected at the moment. At the beginning of the session, we will share the password with all the participants.

We have also planned a short presentation at the start of the session. You can find the slide deck here

Finally, while preparing for the session we made notes and organized relevant details pertaining to the existing literature on Ethics for AI and Generative AI. In case you are interested please have a look at this Google Doc
