AI that aligns with human values and ethical principlesAI may sound intelligent, but at its core, it’s just math — a “stochastic parrot” repeating patterns without understanding human values. Rawn Shaw explains how making AI safe is an active, ongoing process, shaped entirely by the humans behind it. More here: https://imaginize.world/exploring-responsible-ai-with-rawn-shah/The phrase “stochastic parrot” describes AI perfectly: semi-random, great at stringing sentences together, but lacking any real grasp of ethics. Rawn Shaw explains how responsible AI isn’t automatic — it’s something we have to build, monitor, and constantly adapt.AI’s statistical brain doesn’t naturally understand morality, ethics, or human values. Rawn Shaw explains why we have to program responsibility into it — and why the question remains: who gets to decide what “responsible” means?
