The Impact of AI on Human Rights (protecting digital human rights)

60 mins
1 CPD Hours

ASI 2020 Engagement  Investment  Members culture  Leadership

While services using AI and other tech can be incredibly convenient how alert are we to the risks associated with them? 

Artificial Intelligence is not some perfect unbiased machine, it is programmed by humans with our inbuilt flaws and biases.  For example, did you know that facial recognition technology used by London police gets its wrong more than 9 times out of 10?  What happens when processes adopted by companies assume that the AI output is perfect and don’t question it?  What is the risk to human rights and how to we protect them?

Super funds need to educate themselves on the tech companies they invest in, the services they offer members and how these interact with their obligations to continue to act in members best interest.

Hear Ed Santow, Australian Human Rights Commissioner, explore these and other important themes.  This session is a must for all AIST members, as consumers and adopters of technology as well as investors in tech.
