A Journey through Artificial Intelligence lecture series – 5# Responsible AI: Shaping a Better Tomorrow

“Responsible AI: Shaping a Better Tomorrow” is the title of the fifth lecture in the 2nd edition of the JAI series, which can be followed online.

In hybrid format, it will take place both online and in-person at the University of Padua (Archivio Antico – Palazzo Bo) on 26 June 2025 at 15:45 (CEST). Registration is required.

Abstract

How can we harness the power of generative AI to create a more equitable world? This lecture will explore the double-edged sword of rapidly evolving generative AI technology, examining both its promising opportunities and potential pitfalls. Through a series of engaging case studies, we will dive into critical issues surrounding generative AI, including: the perpetuation of stereotypes, misrepresentation of individuals and groups, the generation of dangerous or offensive content. Moving beyond these challenges, the discussion will centre on strategies to leverage this powerful technology for social and environmental good.
