Recent Projects
How can we educate #artificialintelligence to be civic?
In the recent National University of Singapore Symposium on #AIEducation, I shared my views on (1) when AI goes uncivil; (2) civic education and its own challenges; (3) #AIEthics education; (4) a deliberative framework of Civic AI Education. The rich tradition of #deliberation, along with emerging AI ethics toolkits/guidelines/co-design activities, can offer potential solutions.
