How intelligent is artificial “intelligence”? With AI making critical decisions in our lifetime, the widespread impact of when it goes wrong - in the forms of unintended discrimination and biases - is unsettling. As humans we may assume that the rational machine is more capable of fairness than us - but biases in technology are nothing new. What constitutes fairness in technology? How can we make these algorithms more socially responsible, even though we’re the ones designing them? These are some concerns the new generation of AI should resolve by building a sense of fairness and justice. It requires us to re-think our approaches to AI from an ethical and human-centric perspective. With any forms of technological applications, the dilemma persists: we can do it, but should we do it? This intercept between technology, ethics and sociology provides us an opportunity for betterment. Anthony So first received his BSE degree in Computer Science from Princeton University. He then received his MSc degree in Computer Science and his PhD degree in Computer Science with a PhD minor in Mathematics from Stanford University. Joining CUHK in 2007, he is now the Associate Dean of Student Affairs in the Faculty of Engineering, Deputy Master of Morningside College, and a professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management. His research focuses on optimization theory and its applications in various areas of science and engineering, such as computational geometry, machine learning, signal processing, and statistics. He has received a number of research and teaching awards, including the 2016-17 CUHK Research Excellence Award, the 2010 CUHK Young Researcher Award, and the 2013 CUHK Vice-Chancellor's Exemplary Teaching Award, and Outstanding Fellow of the Faculty of Engineering at CUHK in 2019.
