Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on every business leader’s agenda. How do you ensure the AI systems you deploy are harmless and trustworthy? This month, Azeem picks some of his favorite conversations with leading AI safety experts to help you break through the noise.

Today’s pick is Azeem’s conversation with Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation. Meredith is a co-founder and chief advisor of the AI Now Institute, an independent research group looking at the social impact of artificial intelligence.

They discuss:

• How discriminatory culture influences the values embedded in AI.
• Whether ethics officers can actually influence firms and their products.
• Why responsible AI design must include recognition of the shadow workforce helping to create it.
