Ethical AI: Serving Humanity or Falling Short? A Pacific Views Lecture by Haewon Jeong
UCSB Library is pleased to present Haewon Jeong (Electrical and Computer Engineering) in the Pacific Views: Library Speaker Series for Winter 2025.
In her talk "Ethical AI: Serving Humanity or Falling Short?", Jeong will explore the ethical considerations surrounding the development and deployment of AI technologies, discussing how we can ensure that these systems are designed to benefit society while minimizing harm.
Haewon Jeong is a leading scholar in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, with a focus on the intersection of technology, morality, and societal impact. She currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Santa Barbara and a co-director of REAL AI, a consortium at UCSB for building Artificial Scientific Intelligence (ASI), where she leads a research lab on developing ethical AI technologies.
In 2024, the National Science Foundation (NSF) granted Jeong an Early CAREER Award, the federal agency’s most highly regarded honor for junior faculty, for her project "From Dirty Data to Fair Prediction: Data Preparation Framework for End-to-End Equitable Machine Learning," which targets the data-preparation pipeline as a strategic opportunity for eliminating unwanted bias and bolstering desirable ethical objectives.
Jeong's approximately 45-minute presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
