In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk philosophy, ethics, morality, and all sorts of fun things within the context of artificial intelligence.

Ethics is a hot topic in AI; it’s the pinnacle of the discussion.

What does ethics mean around artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI? And how do we apply an ethical framework? Katie, I want to start you off with the $10 million question: what is ethics?

I knew you were going to ask me that question.

I will preface this by saying there are a lot of schools of ethical thought.

If you go to a search engine, you will see philosophers ruminating on ethics for centuries.

So we’re going to put you on the spot here.

There is a general definition of ethics, which is your guiding moral principle.

But what that means to any individual person is going to be different.

There is no black and white answer to say, “This is ethically responsible.

This is 100% what ethics is.” So the definition, by nature, is vague, and that’s why it’s been debated for centuries, because it’s not like, “What is gravity?” Well, gravity, there’s one definition of gravity, it is what it is.

I’m not, Chris, I’m not getting into analytical nonsense tonight.

Okay, I’ll ask you a follow-up question.

What is the difference, to you, as a CEO, as the responsible business owner, what’s the difference between ethics and morals, because they are different?
