最新糖心Vlog

In this latest Research Tuesdays event, AI鈥檚 hidden impacts, a 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide researcher will explore the serious consequences of relying solely on AI algorithms that perpetuate existing human prejudice and how researchers are solving these challenges.

Associate Professor Carolyn Semmler is from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 School of Psychology and leads the Applied Cognition and Experimental Psychology (ACEP) research group. Her research examines human interaction with intelligent agents and the development of human-machine interfaces for defence and national security.

鈥淚magine searching for a job online, only to learn that the opportunities presented to you are determined by your gender,鈥� she said.

鈥淎 recent study revealed that Google's algorithms showed ads for high-paying executive jobs to male users nearly six times more often than to females.鈥�

This story is all too common, highlighting a crucial issue.

鈥淎s powerful as AI algorithms can be, relying on them to replace human decision-making can lead to unintended consequences, such as reinforcing prejudices and social inequalities,鈥� said Associate Professor Semmler.

鈥淭he 鈥榬ight鈥� decision on paper isn't always the best one, especially when it comes to complex human matters like morality.鈥�

Technology has vastly changed the human experience, and there are many complexities to using AI responsibly.

Join Associate Professor Semmler to learn about how researchers from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide have been probing these intricacies behind AI, uncovering both the promises and pitfalls of using algorithms in areas like medicine and law.

Their work illuminates the challenges and complexities of responsibly integrating AI into daily life.
