Let’s start with the obvious - There is no putting the AI genie back in the bottle.
And frankly, as an organization run by technologists and dedicated to advancing women in tech, we wouldn’t necessarily want to. We believe in the promise of technology. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to be concerned about with how AI has been developing so far.
Near the top of that list for almost everyone is the question “Is AI going to steal my job?”
For many creatives, that reality of being replaced by generative AI is already feeling frighteningly possible. So in this episode we take a look at the possible impact of AI on our careers through their eyes. How do we create an ethical world where human workers are valued while still developing AI as a powerful force for good? Can we trust that world to be built by AI companies themselves? Or do activists on the outside of Silicon Valley have to fight to make it real?
First up, we talk with Dr. Moiya McTier, an astronomer and Senior Advisor for the Human Artistry CampAIgn, where she advocates for protection and guardrails against AI fraud and cloning among the creative community. Next we talk to award-winning voice over artist and the founder of AI Voice company EthoVox. Instead of waiting for the big AI companies to decimate the artform and community she loves - she created her own company to show how it can be done right.
