Privacy and Ethic in AI

Professor Hosung Jo leads this video on AI ethics, addressing privacy and bias risks to build public trust and governance.

AI’s expansion across sectors like health, finance and politics presents substantial benefits but carries inherent risks of algorithmic bias and data leaks. The core ethical issue arises from the technology’s requirement for massive amounts of personal data. This data enables critical functions like finding missing persons but simultaneously threatens privacy and risks secret surveillance because collected information is hard to delete. Globally the fundamental question of data ownership is being addressed through strict laws like Korea’s PIPA and Europe’s GDPR, emphasizing that control over personal data must be returned to the individual user to build societal trust.

What you will learn in this video:

  • What Constitutes the Core Ethical Risks of AI
