E452 – Current & Critical – Dr. Lauren J. Dwyer, The Role of Human Choice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
“What we’re not necessarily seeing [with AI] is the obvious consequence of behaviour being modified and people changing the way that they act, the things they buy, the news they read, the votes they make.”
Lauren’s dedication to shaping the next generation of innovators is rooted in a deep understanding of the evolving relationship between technology and humanity. She unpacks the complexity of attributing responsibility for AI-driven decisions and offers insights into how AI shapes societal behaviours and media portrayals, drawing attention to the concerning gap in government regulation of these emerging technologies. With a nuanced understanding of cultural differences, Lauren discusses how various societies perceive and respond to AI-related incidents, underscoring the importance of prioritizing human narratives and promoting responsible AI design practices.
