The importance of AI ethics with Enza Iannopollo senior analyst with Forrester

The European Parliament is bringing in new AI regulations that will be a world first and will also be passing ePrivacy regulations. But should we be worried about AI and how important will AI ethics be? Ronan talks to Enza Iannopollo a senior analyst in the Security & Risk team at Forrester, a global research and advisory firm

Enza talks about her background, what Forrester does, the importance of AI ethics, why we should be careful about creating fake credibility in things that don’t have any, and trusting information that comes from family and friends.

Enza also talks about why an opinion is not providing facts, the advice of value based consumers, the different mindsets we can have, social media and the balance of power, why transparency in technology and AI is so important, and how the EU is handling ethics.
