Artificial Intelligence: Managing the ethical challenges

OECD Podcasts ·

2021/07/28

If a self-driving car gets into an accident, who’s to blame — the person in the car, or the technology powering the vehicle? What about the manufacturer? If an automated job-search tool discriminates based on race or gender, who’s at fault — the software, or the company? We look at the complex ethical challenges central to AI, the fundamental philosophical questions — about human’s relationship with technology — and more practical concerns, about how to best regulate these new tools. This is the

Effective communication is key when it comes to helping migrants get to know their host country, integrate in their local communities and have access to essential public services. What are best practices in communication with migrants? How can communicators successfully establish interactive spaces online to respond to migrants’ information needs?

2021/07/16

Over 130 countries and jurisdictions, representing more than 90% of global GDP, joined a new agreement in July 2021 to reform the international taxation rules and ensure that multinational enterprises pay a fair share of tax wherever they operate. This global tax deal – the outcome of negotiations co-ordinated by the OECD for much of the last decade – updates key elements of the century-old international tax system which is no longer fit for purpose in a globalised and digitalised 21st century

Pioneering research is showing that brain trauma is pervasive in cases of domestic violence against women. Depression, anxiety, memory loss, disorientation, and sleep problems are all potential symptoms of someone who has experienced a traumatic brain injury. Recognising and treating brain injuries is key to help survivors of domestic violence.

In April 2021, the European Union unveiled a proposal for unprecedented regulations on the use of AI technologies — with implications for companies, governments, and citizens alike. The tide seems to be shifting, with private companies facing increasing scrutiny. We will hear how regulation can promote innovation, and how citizens can be brought into the discussion. This episode is the second in a series on artificial intelligence, brought to you by the OECD’s Global Parliamentary Network and the

2021/05/28

Promoting economic and social progress throughout the world has been the aim of the OECD since it opened in September 1961. One member country that has embodied this goal since the outset is Ireland. Its strong economic performances, the quality of life and its appeal to global investors are just some illustrations of this. So, as we build the post-pandemic world, what lessons can we draw from Ireland? For instance, is globalisation a problem or the solution? In March, to help mark the

2021/05/04

Violence against women is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in the world. More than one in three women worldwide say they experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. The pandemic has made things worse: confinement trapped millions of women around the world at home with their abusers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not affected everyone equally, and people of colour have paid a particularly high price, whether in terms of lives lost among vulnerable frontline workers or higher unemployment and economic hardship, or even by being left out of vaccine rollouts. The coronavirus crisis has exposed the need to step up the fight against racism and discrimination, spurred on by global protests and campaigns such as Black Lives Matter, and the OECD is urging policymakers to make sure everyone

2021/02/18

Globalisation has brought major benefits for businesses, but at the same time it has enabled large multinational firms to book their profits in countries with low or no tax, rather than where they carry out their business activity. Governments lose out because shifting profits in this way can erode the tax base. Moreover, the digital economy adds to the challenge of working out how much international companies owe in tax and to which countries, in part because digital firms may not have a physical

The Covid-19 vaccine is finally here. Finding the vaccine was the first step, but the Covid-19 pandemic poses many challenges about international cooperation and distributing a vaccine, public confidence, digitalisation in health care and many more. How can we produce enough vaccines to make an impact? How can we ensure that the vaccine is accessible for everyone? And once accessible, does the general public have enough trust in the vaccine to take it? To learn more on the OECD's work on the

Machine learning, or artificial intelligence, can be traced back to the 1950s, but really leapt forward in the last decade or so thanks to more powerful computing. AI is at the wheel when it comes to driverless cars, and is used by farmers to monitor crops, and by the police to solve crime. It has promise in health care too, including to better detect COVID-19. Could AI go too far, as machines teach machines, and even learning human emotions and tastes, yet with very little control by human beings

Back to school? Or not back to school? That is the question…. In the first half of 2020, 188 countries temporarily closed their schools to slow down the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Suddenly, more than 1.5 billion young people were on their own or following classes online. Many school re-openings since then have continued to be disrupted by the virus: some have had to switch back to remote learning just days after resuming classes as infection rates ramped up.
