David & Joe discuss all things All Tech Is Human! It's beginnings, goals, ambitions and future

Reid Blackman

We talk to Reid Blackman, founder of Virtue (an ethical tech consultancy), about the ethical issues facing Big Tech. We discuss how Silicon Valley has a difficult time foreseeing pitfalls, how teaching ethics to developers is a major task, explainable AI, and how we develop products to mitigate ethical risks!If you are in the NYC area, come to our live show on Tues, April 9th "Let's Talk about Sextech." bit.ly/FunnyAsTechLiveShowReid Blackman:Reid was gripped by ethical problems the first semester of his first year in college over 20 years ago. Countless hours later, after reading, arguing, and teaching about ethics, he’s still hungry for more. While his early research concerned issues largely contained within the ivory tower, his research has become increasingly action-orientated, particularly as it concerns the ethics of institutions like governments and corporations, and also the ethics of emerging technologies. He has taught at Northwestern University, the University of Texas in Austin, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and Colgate University. He currently sits on the committee for “Methods to Guide Ethical Research and Design” for the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems and is a member of the European Union Artificial Intelligence Alliance.

What will social media look like in five years?!

A tech ethicist &amp; comedian tackle the human side of tech.In this episode, David Ryan Polgar (tech ethicist) and Joe Leonardo (UCB comedian) discuss the thorny emerging tech issue of digital phenotyping! Digital phenotyping is analyzing HOW you use your digital device (speech patterns, volume of texts, pattern changes, how your scroll) to make correlations to depression, suicidality, and more. Is digital phenotyping a canary in the smartphone?! Or is it prone to dangerous false positives?! What about our expectation of privacy? How will this be used with teens?! Does this impact our freedom of mind?! Does this known surveillance alter the underlying behavior?!
