The AI Mirror

Shannon Vallor, the Bailey Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and AI at the University of Edinburgh and author of "The AI Mirror," reframes our understanding of AI. She argues against seeing AI as a human-like entity and instead proposes viewing it as a mirror reflecting our biases and intentions. Vallor critiques how AI perpetuates stereotypes and suggests we prioritize addressing human-centered risks over speculative AI threats. Her insights advocate for a more ethical approach to AI development, emphasizing genuine engagement and innovation.
