AI – freedom within and freedom without | Dorothea Baur | TEDxZurich

All eyes are set on the potential AI holds for monitoring and fighting crises like the COVID-19 pandemic; it epitomizes how AI has become the most promising liberation that frees us from having to resolve complex problems ourselves. Because AI can detect patterns that we cannot see, we are prone to delegate our decisions to AI. But how can we be free when we delegate key decisions? Even more so, when we delegate them to algorithms that are effectively black boxes? We used to say ‘The ways of the Lord are inscrutable’, but the ways of the algorithms are equally inscrutable. If we want to keep our freedom, we need to remain in charge. Tech is our servant. We are the masters. Dorothea Baur is an ethics consultant based in Zurich who helps leaders in tech and finance align value with values. She holds a Ph.D. in business ethics from the University of St. Gallen and is also a regular lecturer on AI ethics as well as business ethics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
