Ethical Concerns and Fairness Issues in AI/LLMs
“As consumers, we need to call on developers to place more regulations for minimizing bias in LLMs.”
- Result from group survey
As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies continue to advance at an unprecedented pace, the ethical implications of these advancements become increasingly complex. Walk through the research conducted by Matias Beotello, Sonia Fan, Emily Inman, Eddie Ioana, Krish Lulla, Meredith Joo, and Isabella Sicilian below to discover their call to action.
