About this episode
<p>AI needs to benefit everyone, not just those who build it. But fulfilling this promise requires careful thought before new technologies are built and released into the world. In this episode, Hannah delves into some of the most pressing and difficult ethical and social questions surrounding AI today. She explores complex issues like racial and gender bias and the misuse of AI technologies, and hears why diversity and representation is vital for building technology that works for all.</p><p> </p><p>For questions or feedback on the series, message us on Twitter @DeepMind or email podcast@deepmind.com. </p><p> </p><p>Interviewees: DeepMind’s Sasha Brown, William Isaac, Shakir Mohamed, Kevin Mckee & Obum Ekeke</p><p> </p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Presenter: Hannah Fry</p><p>Series Producer: Dan Hardoon</p><p>Production support: Jill Achineku</p><p>Sounds design: Emma Barnaby</p><p>Music composition: Eleni Shaw</p><p>Sound Engineer: Nigel Appleton</p><p>Editor: David Prest</p><p>Commissioned by DeepMind</p><p> </p><p>Thank you to everyone who made this season possible! </p><p> </p><p><strong>Further reading: </strong></p><p>What a machine learning tool that turns Obama white can (and can’t) tell us about AI bias, The Verge: <a href="https://www.theverge.com/21298762/face-depixelizer-ai-machine-learning-tool-pulse-stylegan-obama-bias">https://www.theverge.com/21298762/face-depixelizer-ai-machine-learning-tool-pulse-stylegan-obama-bias</a></p><p>Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study</a></p><p>Ethics & Society, DeepMind: <a href="https://deepmind.com/about/ethics-and-society">https://deepmind.com/about/ethics-and-society</a></p><p>Row over AI that 'identifies gay faces', BBC: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-41188560">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-41188560</a></p><p>The Trevor Project: <a href="https://www.thetrevorproject.org/">https://www.thetrevorproject.org/</a></p><p>AI takes root, helping farmers identify diseased plants, Google: <a href="https://www.blog.google/technology/ai/ai-takes-root-helping-farmers-identity-diseased-plants/">https://www.blog.google/technology/ai/ai-takes-root-helping-farmers-identity-diseased-plants/</a></p><p>How Can You Use Technology to Support a Culture of Inclusion and Diversity?, myHRfuture: <a href="https://www.myhrfuture.com/blog/2019/7/16/how-can-you-use-technology-to-support-a-culture-of-inclusion-and-diversity">https://www.myhrfuture.com/blog/2019/7/16/how-can-you-use-technology-to-support-a-culture-of-inclusion-and-diversity</a></p><p>Scholarships at DeepMind: <a href="https://www.deepmind.com/scholarships">https://www.deepmind.com/scholarships</a></p><p>AI, Ain’t I a Woman?
