Does AI Ethics in Business Make Sense?

People want AI developed ethically, but is there actually a business case for it? The answer better be yes since, after all, it’s businesses that are developing AI in the first place. Today I talk with Dennis Hirsch, Professor of Law and Computer Science at Ohio State University, who is conducting empirical research on this topic. He argues that AI ethics - or as he prefers to call it, Responsible AI - delivers a lot of bottom line business value. In fact, his research revealed something about its value that he didn’t even expect to see. We’re in the early days of businesses taking AI ethics seriously, but if he’s right, we’ll see a lot more of it. Fingers crossed.
