Event details
This talk will review the recent attempts to govern emotive AI technologies via soft and hard law frameworks. I will introduce the IEEE P7014.1 standard for ethical emotive AI applications, used for detecting users, emotions for interaction with the applications in a wide range of circumstances, such as education, health, advertisement, and workplaces. We have a video on Youtube that we use to help the public understand the risks and applications of emotive AI. This recent case of Character. AI v Garcia highlights the tension of governing emotive technologies.
This project Automating Empathy is funded by Responsible AI in the UK, which enables us to conduct a series of workshops on AI governance, including workshops in Tokyo (National Institute of Informatics, Japan), Jakarta (Indonesia) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).As the project comes to an end, I would like to share some findings in different cultural contexts, including the emphasis on collective duties and communitarianism in East Asian and Islamic values as opposed to the mainstream Western values based on individualism, privacy and personal autonomy.
In addition to the soft law approach, I will also review the regulatory framework and how the UK Online Safety Act (OSA) and AI principles respond to the risks from this technology.
