Meredith Whittaker – Debunking the AI Story: Ethics, Big-Tech Power, and Where to From Here.

About:

Why does the development of AI so often feel like a race towards unchecked power? Meredith Whittaker, listed as one of TIME’s top 100 people in AI in 2024, is like a salmon swimming against the torrent of AI exuberance. She asks us to stop and understand the trade-offs for allowing the concentration of AI models among tech giants, driven by the surveillance business model, and consider a different architecture for community ownership and decentralisation. This podcast is a must-listen for enterprise leaders who are driving AI initiatives—or considering it.

Join our host Hugh Evans as he chats with Meredith about exposing the realities of AI, the monopolies driving it, and how we can pivot to more ethical tech. From understanding AI’s history to taking practical steps for ethical AI adoption, this episode is packed with insights for leaders looking to navigate the future of AI responsibly.
