Ker Than, Stanford News; AI and gene-editing pioneers to discuss ethics at Stanford
"Upon meeting for the first time at a dinner at Stanford earlier this year, Fei-Fei Li and Jennifer Doudna couldn’t help but note the remarkable parallels in their experiences as scientists.
Both women helped kickstart twin revolutions that are profoundly
reshaping society in the 21st century – Li in the field of artificial
intelligence (AI) and Doudna in the life sciences. Both revolutions can
be traced back to 2012, the year that computer scientists collectively
recognized the power of Li’s approach to training computer vision
algorithms and that Doudna drew attention to a new gene-editing tool
known as CRISPR-Cas9 (“CRISPR” for short). Both pioneering scientists
are also driven by a growing urgency to raise awareness about the
ethical dangers of the technologies they helped create."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
