AI Ethics with Fexingo: Bias, Safety, and Responsible Artificial Intelligence
Every week, Lucas and Luna sit down at the library table to examine the real-world consequences of artificial intelligence — not the sci-fi futures, but the decisions being coded into systems today. This show is about bias in hiring algorithms that screen out qualified candidates before a human sees a résumé; safety failures in autonomous vehicles that misclassify pedestrians; and the regulatory scramble to define fairness when no one agrees on what 'fair' means. Lucas brings the research: the…
