Responsible AI and the Digital Humanities
In 2022 Jake Moffat took Air Canada to Small Claims court for a bereavement flight discount that the airline chatbot had said he could apply for after flying. Air Canada denied responsibility for the words of the chatbot raising the question, Who was responsible for the chatbot? In this presentation Geoffrey Rockwell will discuss the approach to the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) that goes under the rubric of “Responsible AI” (RAI). He will talk about how jurisdictions like the government of Canada is implementing RAI and then look at philosophical discussions of moral responsibility in order to draw conclusions about how the digital humanities can responsibly use AI.
