In this context, AI techologies embodies this duality perhaps more than any other emerging technology today. Thus, any exploration of the use of AI technologies must always go hand-in-hand with efforts to avoid any form of legal abuse. In this podcast, Abdessalam Jaldi, Senior International Relations Specialist at the PCNS engages in a conversation with Renée Cummings, AI ethicist at The School of Data Science - University of Virginia.
