Is it possible to create ethical AI that truly incorporates ethnic diversity?
And is it possible to avoid creating AI that doesn’t embed bias and perpetuate stereotypes?
And…do we want to?
From having worked on the ethics behind lethal autonomous weapons in the past, Emmanuel is here to discuss the ethics behind AI.
Meet Emmanuel R. Goffi
Emmanuel’s Role as an AI Leader at Global AI Ethics Institute

He was awarded the National Defense Medal by the French Ministry of Defense in 2004, the Voluntary Military Services Medal by the French Air Force in 2010, and the Silver National Defense Medal by Ministère des Armées France in 2020.
