Tech with a Conscience: AI’s Role in Shaping a Fairer Future for all

This episode is dedicated to AI and how it intersects with the topic of Social Inclusion.

 Joining us today are two brilliant folks: Aubrey Mnisi dialling from Cape Town and Yasemin Efiloğlu, dialling from Berlin, while I am recording this from Bansko, Bulgaria.

In this episode, we covered a wide range of topics like:

• what is The European AI Act and what does it do to ensure that AI systems are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights
• what is Feminist AI
• why inclusion by design is a lot cheaper than companies tend to think
• why wouldn´t a self-driving car designed for Germany work on the streets of CapeTown, and why we don´t need to have diverse perspectives and backgrounds in every single project
• and finally, what are our responsibilities as citizens in utilising as well as creating the technology that uses our personal data

Let's dive into this very interesting conversation!
