Spectrum News examines ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence
Spectrum News highlighted work by researchers at the University of Cincinnati to explore ethical questions raised by artificial intelligence.
UC's Center for Humanities and Technology is looking at a number of issues surrounding AI, including harm, trust and fairness, postdoctoral fellow Clair Baleshta said.
She is studying AI ethics in UC's College of Arts and Sciences.
“We're focusing on questions about trust in AI, harm in AI,“ Baleshta told Spectrum News.
The UC center launched last year to conduct humanities research on AI and emerging technologies and connects its work to community partners to help them think critically about how they use AI.
AI agents are becoming ubiquitous across business, healthcare and education.
“There are real questions about what would it mean to trust a system that is very alien to us but nonetheless is playing an increasingly important role in all aspects of our life,“ said André Curtis-Trudel, assistant professor and director of the center.
UC's Digital Technology Solutions in December launched Ohio's first university AI platform, BearcatGPT, in stages to faculty and staff and then to students. Unlike other generative AI systems, BearcatGPT is private and secure.
