My “Fireside” conversation with AI.

Here is an Executive Brief on the key points from my “conversation” with Bard, Claude, and ChatGPT:

The text is a conversation between Jeff and three AI assistant’s was about the trend towards ethical and responsible AI development. It begins with an assistant providing an overview of the growing focus on AI ethics, citing rising concerns about risks like bias and lack of transparency. Bard outlines core ethical principles like fairness, accountability, and privacy. It notes initiatives by companies like Google and Microsoft to adopt AI ethics guidelines.

Then Jeff asks about terminology businesses use to convey ethical technology efforts. The assistant’s list audit methods like algorithmic auditing and concepts like AI governance, which Jeff Kluge wrote an extensive paper entitled Understanding the Distinction Between Technical and Governance Audits for AI: A Critical Analysis. It gives examples of AI ethics boards and human oversight for accountability.

The conversation then challenges Bard’s use of Google and Microsoft as ethical AI exemplars, since they recently cut ethics teams. Bard acknowledges it should not have presented them uncritically as ethical leaders before sufficient public transparency.

Finally, Jeff emphasizes the importance of businesses publicly displaying their AI Code of Ethics and governance efforts rather than just pursuing technical advancements. The exchange underscores the need for transparency and ethical oversight in AI development to build trust. Key topics covered include current state of ethical AI initiatives, audit and governance concepts, and corporate accountability.
