"Navigating the Ethical Frontier - Maintaining Trust in an AI World"
Hank Cecil, MSW, will address five pillars of ethical AI, focusing on transparency, explainability, informed consent, privacy, and equity to prevent bias and discrimination. Through case studies in child welfare and predictive policing, and by examining regulatory frameworks, it offers strategies for embedding ethics from design to deployment. Ultimately, success will belong to those who create AI that fosters trust and advances justice, rather than merely speed or power.
