'Tools don't have independent values — their values are human values': Quote of the day by Stanford professor Fei-Fei Li on building ethical AI
There's an overriding desire to deploy AI ethically, or to instill models with human-based values, but it remains to be seen how to standardize such an approach or even whether to regulate the industry. That's where organizations like the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) come in. With AI advancing in capability and availability, many scientists and experts have begun highlighting the risks of deploying this emerging technology.
