AI and Society: Are We Losing Control? | a REFLECT Podcast by Ed Fassio

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio

As artificial intelligence advances at breakneck speed, it promises to revolutionize industries, automate mundane tasks, and push the boundaries of human potential. Yet, beneath the surface of this rapid progress lie urgent questions about ethics, regulation, and societal impact. In this episode, we’ll dive into the pressing question: Are we losing control of AI?
We’ll explore key ethical dilemmas, from the autonomy of AI decision-making to the protection of human rights in an age of automation. Drawing on insights from thought leaders such as Gary Marcus and Stuart Russell, we’ll analyze their concerns about AI safety and the risks of runaway AI systems. We’ll also discuss the latest regulations and policy proposals from governments like the EU’s AI Act and the U.S. National AI Strategy, asking whether these efforts are enough to ensure AI develops responsibly.
Through the lens of real-world examples and expert perspectives, we’ll tackle questions such as:
How should society balance innovation with ethical boundaries?
Can regulators keep pace with the ever-evolving landscape of AI technology?
What does the future hold for AI in our everyday lives?
Join us as we take a thoughtful and critical look at the societal implications of AI and consider how we can navigate the fine line between benefiting from this powerful technology and controlling it before it controls us.
