Hackathon Ethical dilemmas in AI – Engineering the way out The Association of Nordic Engineers (ANE), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, (IEEE) invite their members and experts to voice their opinion and influence the development of responsible AI. The hackathon will explore the gaps between existing guidelines and recommendations for addressing ethical issues with respect to AI technologies and the realities experienced by engineers in practice. The event will address following questions : - What kinds of ethical challenges engineers encounter in practice as they work with AI technologies? - How are these ethical challenges understood and addressed? - How do we ensure that society can derive maximum benefit from AI technologies, while limiting the potential for negative consequences?
