Gods and Robots In this episode of the podcast we shake things up! Neil is on the guest side of the table with his partner Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner to discuss their upcoming project Gods and Robots. Katherine is joined on the host side by friend of the show professor Michael Littman. See...

An extensive literature explores what conditions must be met for these systems' decisions to be fair. However, questions of legitimacy -- why those in control of ADS are... No "Zero-Shot" Without Exponential Data: Pretraining Concept Frequency Determines Multimodal Model Performance Web-crawled pretraining datasets underlie the impressive "zero-shot" evaluation performance of multimodal models, such as CLIP for classification/retrieval and Stable-Diffusion for image generation. However, it is unclear how meaningful the notion of "zero-shot" generalization is for such multimodal... Power and Play: Investigating "License to Critique" in Teams' AI Ethics Discussions Past work has sought to design AI ethics interventions-such as checklists or toolkits-to help practitioners design more ethical AI systems. However, other work demonstrates how these interventions and the principles they're based on may serve to instead limit critique to those addressed within the...
