Explore the hidden dynamics of AI ethics and examine how technology amplifies societal challenges in this thought-provoking conference talk. Delve beyond surface-level debates about artificial intelligence to uncover deeper power structures and question the authenticity of values discourse in the tech industry. Learn from Dr. Shima Beigi, who brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective combining engineering expertise, complex systems theory, and mindfulness philosophy to challenge the current mechanical paradigm of AI development. Discover how her background in smart city design and resilience of complex systems informs a critical analysis of AI ethics as potentially performative rather than substantive. Examine the intersection of science and spirituality in technology development, and consider alternative approaches to AI governance that move beyond what the speaker characterizes as "ethics theatre." Gain insights into systemic thinking about AI's role in society and explore calls for genuine truth-seeking in our increasingly fractured technological landscape. This presentation forms part of the AI and Values Seminar series, offering a provocative critique of contemporary AI ethics discourse and proposing pathways toward more authentic engagement with the moral dimensions of artificial intelligence.
