Day 2 of Open Source, Ethics and Innovation in AI, hosted as part of @turingway.bsky.social Practitioners Hub cohort 2024 #OSEIAI2024. The day under the theme Ethical AI was opened by @arielleb.bsky.social with a question "what does ethical AI mean to you" - surfacing the broad aspect of ethics.

Arielle, a white British Woman, with short black hair, rimmed spectacles and black dress, is standing on the podium and looking at her laptop which is projected behind her, showing many terms that participants have shared about what they mean by ethics. Top 5 terms are accountability, fairness, trustworthy, transparency and social responsibility.
