Responsible AI, trustworthy AI are slogans repeated so often by business actors so often that they risk becoming meaningless. However, with each passing year, the issue of social responsibility of artificial intelligence developers will become more and more important. Technologies, increasingly capable of making decisions on their own, must be designed in a responsible manner. “Cat Royale” is a new work by British artist group Blast Theory, in which three cats live in an AI-managed utopia. With our guests we want to talk about the boundary between responsibility and supervision. And about principles of responsible AI that emerge from a dialogue between engineers and technologists and the rest of society.
