A naughty elf has escaped Santa’s workshop in the North Pole and is lurking somewhere on the EBnet site. The first person who sends a selfie with the EBnet Elf in the background to chris@ebnet.co.za will win a prize.
Editor’s Thoughts.
Editor’sOne of the speakers at the FPI’s recent Masterclass on AI and ethics, referenced Stanford University’s 2024 Artificial Intelligence Index Report. You can click here for the full report, starting with a one page summary of the top 10 trends from the research (which I encourage you read).
Today’s Top Picks and Most Recent Reads talk to the increasing use of AI in large parts our businesses and processes. And Zeldeen Muller from Insite Connect entered the Evolutionary Awards at our recent conference with AI Mentor, a game changer in supporting staff to answer FAQs members may ask.
So I asked AI to comment on its own ethics. According to Perplexity AI “the effectiveness of ethical AI relies on the commitment of stakeholders to implement these principles in practice, addressing challenges like bias and ensuring that AI serves humanity positively”.
It’s an interesting thought. And the question is, if you are using AI to prep your reports, write your proposals or vet incoming CV’s when hiring, should you be disclosing that?
