RESPONSIBLE TECH AND THE ETHICS OF AI
 
Hi human,
 
This is a fellow human here* writing to you about how one of Purpose Conference’s main themes is Responsible Tech. Why? The world of tech has moved faster than even some of the leading technologists could fathom, so we’re in a state of flux and catch up, and it’s not going to slow down. 
 
It’s predicted that the market for AI software will reach almost $134.8 billion by 2023 (Gartner) and, just this week, companies including Meta, OpenAI and Google Deepmind met with experts and policy leaders in London for the AI Safety Summit. At the summit, the UK, US, EU Australia and China, all signed the Bletchley declaration of AI's catastrophic danger.
 
It’s big business, and, in turn, is going to impact businesses small and large as they grapple with how to manage compliance, risk and reputation, how to make informed and ethical decisions, and how to thrive in the context of rapidly developing government regulation.
 
Our program will be delving into
  • Generative AI and humanity
  • Technology Ethics
  • Corporate governance
  • AI for positive impact
See you next week,
The Purpose Team
