“Unlocking Ethical AI: Insights from Aaron Wood on Safeguarding Employee Rights and Research Integrity”
We needed staff to be comfortable with the concepts within generative AI. In product and content management, this led to specific upskilling goals for staff. People got their “feet wet” by beginning to understand the technology in general, and then they started to look at it within their areas. Whether it’s a workflow or a license, they needed an understanding of the technology and a space to discuss it with their peers.
I also found it helpful to ground people’s considerations in a few areas that resonate well with them: research integrity, copyright, piracy, freedom of expression, and academic freedom. In doing that, it’s helped people begin to look at things individually instead of looking at it all very broadly. Of course, we still have the two extremes within staff but with some middle ground, too.
