Audio by Tobin A. using WellSaid Labs

Since time immemorial, ethics have acted as society’s compass, guiding civilizations through the murky waters of moral dilemmas. And in our digital age? It’s no different. 

The chatter around AI ethics has grown from a murmur to a roar. Consider this: submissions to FAccT, a premier AI ethics conference, surged tenfold since 2018, and more than doubled just from 2021.This spike isn’t just statistical white noise—it underscores a collective epiphany. As of 2022, a staggering 77% of companies dabbled with AI. And why not? It’s a game-changer, proving its mettle not just in dazzling feats like autonomous vehicles but also in the humdrum of everyday back-office operations.
