Who’s responsible for AI? 🤔
When AI helps write a paper, who’s the author? If a self-driving car crashes, who’s at fault? These aren’t sci‑fi questions anymore – they’re part of our everyday life, and there’s a whole science that studies them.
We sat down with Daria Chirva, an ITMO expert and member of the National Committee for AI Ethics, to unpack the big questions of AI ethics and how this discipline is studied and applied at ITMO.
