From the course: Ethics in the Age of Generative AI

Setting an intention of continual questioning

“

- You've completed the course and in this time together you've learned to evaluate ethical risks, to design organizations that can handle them, and build mechanisms to seek broad societal inputs on thorny issues. You should now be able to build products that are grounded in both ethical principles and ethical practice, but the journey's only starting. Here are three ways you can take what you've learned to grow as a professional and be a leader in the ethical AI transformation. First, I encourage you to find innovative ways to incorporate communities in what you're building. Can you partner with local nonprofits to find problems worth solving, and can you use your expertise to expand the impact of the tools you're already building? Second, I invite you to focus on building skills beyond technology. Even as you become a better coder or designer, what if you could improve your capacity to understand how your product choices impact economic opportunity, help communities solve local problems, or even address some of the greatest challenges facing humanity? And third, and most important, I ask you to make an intention in your daily work to become a steward of a human-centered future, one that recognizes the critical moment we're in, where our decisions will shape the future for generations. Working together, we can shift a conversation about building ethical AI into one about building an ethical society that's powered by AI, a future that inspires us to be our best human selves.
