The Machine Ethics podcast: Safe and moral AI with Rebecca Raper

Hosted by Ben Byford, The Machine Ethics Podcast brings together interviews with academics, authors, business leaders, designers and engineers on the subject of autonomous algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and technology's impact on society. In this episode we chat with Rebecca for the second time about: why intelligence isn't everything, whether LLM's are even safe, AI governance and guardrails, moral assurance, under-specification problems, lack of interdisciplinary work in robotics, that AI shouldn't be sold as a solution to everything, sidelining of AI ethics, what are the actual benefits of AI, whether AI progress will widen inequality, and more Rebecca Raper is a robotics lecturer and researcher at Cranfield University. She authored the book Raising Robots to be Good: a practical foray into the art and science of Machine Ethics . She designed and leads the UK's first Robotics apprenticeship. This podcast was created and is run by Ben Byford and collaborators.
