Professor Cummings: I think my last call would be to just, you know, keep an open mind and understand that this technology is a beautiful thing. Ethics needs to be a continuous conversation, because the one thing we know about AI is that we really don't know about AI. All right. We do have to wrap up. But thank you so much for the generosity of your time and experience. This has been such an amazing conversation.
Ethics in AI is a broad, deep, and tough subject. It's also, arguably, one of the most important subjects for analysts, data scientists, and organizations overall to deliberately and determinedly tackle as a standard part of how they do work. On this episode, Renée Cummings, Professor of Practice in Data Science and Data Activist in Residence at the University of Virginia (among many other roles), joined us for a discussion of the subject. Her knowledge of the topic is as deep as her passion for it, and both are bordering on the limitless, so it was an incredibly informative chat!
