As someone who has spent decades in the tech industry, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly innovation can move. Today, that pace is set by artificial intelligence, and it’s moving at an incredible speed. With this rapid advancement comes a critical need to talk about AI ethics. It’s not just a philosophical debate; it’s about building technology that serves us well.
When we talk about AI ethics, we’re really asking some fundamental questions. How do we ensure AI systems are fair and don’t perpetuate existing biases?
