  • Conversations on AI Podcast- Episode 11: Ethical Agentic AI
    How can AI ethics help us navigate the world of Agentic AI?In this episode, Armin Razavi and Alex Bartlett try to answer this fundamental question that is central to how the world is changing. They are in conversation with Dafydd Biffen and Carl Coddington of Pippa Labs and Professor Brian Ball and Assistant Professor Alice Helliwell of Northeastern University London. The discussion explores what agentic AI is and addresses the growing shift toward autonomous machines operating on an internet originally built for humans. Panelists dive into why AI ethics is crucial, pushing past high-level abstract principles to provide real, actionable guidance for development teams on the ground.Brian Ball and Alice Helliwell from Northeastern University introduce their paper, "3D Model of Ethical AI Practice". The model uses plain-language questions to help companies address value trade-offs, identify blind spots, and build a culture of ethical reflection rather than relying solely on top-down governance or tick-box exercises.Carl Coddington and Dafydd Biffen, co-founders of Pippa Labs (Protocol for the Interoperability of Privacy-Preserving Agents), share how they are testing and implementing the 3D model in real time. They outline their work in creating a trusted infrastructure layer for the agentic web that protects digital and data sovereignty for both individuals and organizations through verified identity and selective disclosure.The panel also examines the complex challenges of delegating decision-making to agents, avoiding dystopian data breaches, and ensuring fairness as autonomous agents prepare to represent humans and negotiate online.Relevant links below:https://philarchive.org/rec/BALTDMhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/carlcoddington/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dafyddbiffen/https://www.pippa-labs.com/enhttps://cpl.sites.northeastern.edu/https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-ball-383572213/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicechelliwell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderrussellyobartlett/
