AI x Ethical Design with Professor Adam Waytz

Kellogg Design Challenge presents: AI x Ethical Design with Professor Adam Waytz

Anthropomorphism is the tendency to see nonhuman entities - such as technology - as humanlike. As technology takes on increasingly humanlike capacities, it is important to understand the causes and societal consequences of this phenomenon. During this lecture, Waytz will summarize 20 years of research looking at the immediate implications for human-machine interaction and the broader implications for society in an automated world. Join us to gain key insights on how AI tools can either perpetuate or mitigate humans' systemic biases.

About the Speaker
Adam Waytz is the Morris and Alice Kaplan Chair in Ethics and Decision Management and professor of Management and Organizations. His research uses methods from social psychology and cognitive neuroscience to study how people think about other minds and to investigate processes related to ethics, intergroup processes, and the psychological consequences of technology.
