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.
