Video: Can Artificial Intelligence be trusted?

ITU / About ITU / Press / News from ITU / Video: Can Artificial Intelligence be trusted?

Video: Can Artificial Intelligence be trusted?

Artificial intelligence or advanced algorithm? ITU researcher Nanna Inie focuses on how we talk about artificial intelligence in the public debate and which consequences it has for our understanding of the technology when it is described with human characteristics.

Computer Science Department Research algorithms artificial intelligence ethics

Written 18 June, 2024 10:59 by Theis Duelund Jensen

Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the core of a new digital revolution, but how will the technology affect our daily lives, and what significance will it have for society?

In this video, Nanna Inie, a researcher in human-machine interaction at the IT University, discusses the impact on people's trust in artificial intelligence when it is described in human terms, and offers some good advice on what to be aware of when interacting with a machine.
