In episode twelve of The Robot Brains Podcast we are joined by Charles Isbell Jr, professor and Dean of the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. After starting his career as an industrial researcher at the legendary Bell Labs, and a long research career in Interactive and Human-Centric AI, Charles has more recently turned his attention to the major issues of ethics, fairness and diversity that are becoming ever more important as AI is being deployed in the real world. Speaking with Pieter Abbeel, Charles explains why researchers can find making ethical AI challenging, his fascinating keynote speech at NeurIPS, and how more diversity in academic admissions can help to improve AI research.
