Yejin Choi on How to Effectively Regulate AI for Safer Innovation 🤖

Common sense is not so common. Yejin Choi, professor and computer science researcher, thinks we need to take AI way more seriously for this very reason. Even for the most advanced AI systems, common sense remains difficult to program. Stupid AI isn’t funny, it’s dangerous, and Choi’s years exploring the ethics behind machine learning is distilled into her TED talk. We got to speak to her hours after she delivered it, and explained to us why anything that is learning from the internet is unavoidably going to have racist, sexist and ableist tendencies that we have to actively correct for. Most importantly: we need regulation. Choi believes in fostering a diverse community of thinkers, including philosophers and psychologists, working collectively to bridge AI's gaps of understanding to include ethics, racial equity, and common sense.<br /><br />Credits<br />Director<br />Keshia Hannam<br /><br />Associate Producer<br />Manal Ahmed<br /><br />Editor<br />Sabrina Sinaga<br /><br />Director of Photography<br />Setare Gholipour<br /><br />Sound Recordist<br />Joy Jihyun Jeong<br /><br />Editor-in-Chief<br />Keshia Hannam<br /><br />Head of Production<br />Stephanie Tangkilisan<br /><br />Producer<br />Joy Jihyun Jeong<br /><br />Post Production Coordinator<br />Skolastika Lupitawina<br /><br />Assistant Editor<br />Rendy Abi Pratama<br /><br />Color<br />Nadya Sabrina<br /><br />Sound<br />Ezound Studios<br /><br />Bumper Design<br />Chris Lee<br /><br />Additional Music by<br />Borden Lulu - We Share This Convoy<br />IamDayLight - No Limit - Instrumental Version<br />Amir Marcus - Mystery Box<br />AlterEgo - Mystify<br /><br />Additional Archival Material<br />Business Chief<br />Deloitte<br />Forbes<br />Getty Images<br />NPR<br />TED Conference 2023<br />The Conversation<br />ZD Net<br />Zee Business<br /><br />Special Thanks<br />TED Conference 2023<br />Yejin Choi
