Professor of Digital Ethics & Defence Technologies at Oxford University, Mariarosaria Taddeo, sits down with ISF CEO Steve Durbin to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), cyber warfare, ethics, and governance. Mariarosaria highlights the conceptual shift in warfare prompted by cyber attacks and the rise of AI, underlining the need for new regulatory frameworks. She argues that ethical considerations are crucial, as AI’s bias poses risks to fundamental democratic values.
…When AI does bias and prejudice, it does not discriminate one person; it discriminates thousands…and that undermines the values of liberal democracies…
