Diya Wynn inspires the next generation of Responsible AI Ethicists
TU Dublin recently welcomed Diya Wynn, a leading expert on responsible artificial intelligence (AI), to speak with Human Centered AI Masters students about the importance of ethical and responsible AI practices. Diya Wynn’s daytime role is Senior Practice Manager - Responsible AI, Emerging Technologies and Intelligent Platforms. She is also a Tech Ethicist, Trailblazer and Diversity Equity Inclusion Practitioner. During her visit, Wynn shared her insights and experience with the students across four Universities (TU Dublin, HU Utrecht, UNINA Naples and BME Budapest. Dr Wynn emphasized the critical role of responsible AI in ensuring that technology serves the best interests of society. In a thought provoking introduction she pointed out the challenges in introducing fairness to society – foe example while seat belts in cars are a safety device in use for over 50 years, only in very recent years has it become a requirement that seat belts work equally for all genders.
She discussed the challenges and opportunities of AI in areas such as healthcare, education, and finance, and highlighted the importance of building AI systems that are transparent, fair, and accountable. She also pointed out that this won’t happen by accident and that it takes conscious well informed work to deliver responsible technology with fairness for all. The students were deeply engaged in the discussion, asking thoughtful questions and sharing their own perspectives on the role of AI in society. Many left the event feeling inspired and motivated to apply what they had learned to their future work in the field of AI. As a leading educational institution in the field of AI, TU Dublin is committed to ensuring that its students are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to create AI systems that are both effective and ethical.
It’s Human Centered AI Masters programme (TU471) which is part of a European collaboration (www.humancentered-ai.eu) is just one activity underlying this commitment. The visit by Diya Wynn was a valuable opportunity for students to learn from an expert in the field and to engage in a meaningful discussion about the future of AI. Note from the lecture will be available shortly for students of the programme.
