Listen to the latest podcast on the challenges, considerations and even warnings surrounding AI and its future

What are the ethical challenges and considerations we need to bear in mind when it comes to the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence?

In this final episode of the MetCast digital mini-series, Professor Keeley Crockett, expert in computational intelligence at Manchester Met, explores what AI really is, some of its challenges and why community engagement is more important than ever.

From concerns around job automation and copyright to the rise of deepfakes and misinformation, the episode unpacks some of the biggest challenges AI presents. 

We also look at how tools like AI-powered fashion design software are enhancing creativity and opening up new career opportunities, rather than replacing them.

Manchester Met will be hosting a conference on September 11, co-chaired by Prof. Crockett, exploring AI in government and academia – read more about this event here.
