AI systems should not predict and box people in facts and futures, but rather give everyone a chance regardless of their data or past.The US Constitution and Bill of Rights should be upheld in the context of technology ethics and human rights.AI systems in high-risk environments such as banking and hiring can lead to discrimination and exclusion of non-majority groups.Audits and oversight are necessary to ensure the quality and non-discriminatory nature of AI systems.The myth of AI as a magical and infallible technology needs to be debunked, and the importance of understanding technological risks should be emphasized.Emojis play a role in communication and AI analysis, and their representation and use should be inclusive and representative of diverse cultures and emotions. Regulation and accountability are necessary in technology to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals.AI systems should be tested and evaluated for potential negative impacts before their release.Transparency is crucial in AI systems to understand the indicators used and to have the ability to challenge and change them.Automation can assist in certain tasks but cannot replace the complex thinking and creativity of humans.Education should be reframed to consider the complexities of a connected world and the role of character-building in a fast-changing environment.Women have the potential to make a positive impact in the world through AI and should be supported in their endeavors.Subscribe to the Podcast:Website: https://baileyparnell.com/podcast Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4dqEGn90ei8LooRHtVEolJ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-think-this-through-with-bailey-parnell/id1724843317 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3nm0KYRgNFPYVEhmWkDEdwsNvqw07E1C Follow Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/BaileyParnell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bailey.parnell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/baileyparnell/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BaileyTParnell Website: https://baileyparnell.com​Follow Gemma:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmagclavell/ Website: https://www.eticasconsulting.com/
