Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Amy Lawrence: Meta settlement, advertising to minors, age assurance and addictive design.
Q: So I wanted to start with the Meta settlement. What do you think of it? Where does it leave the scenario in a tech with, at least with big players like Meta?
Amy explains that the settlement represents a significant shift toward proactive changes in platform design and enforcement, including age assurance measures, stronger parental controls, and a rethinking of how age information is collected and used. She notes the potential Brussels effect as Europe's stricter privacy norms influence U.S. practice and highlights opportunities to make the internet safer for minors through more granular, age-appropriate experiences and downstream age signals in the ad ecosystem.
Rosalia Anna D’Agostino: Deep Fakes, algorithmic fairness and the challenges of younger generations
Q: What are your thoughts on algorithmic fairness on social platforms and regulatory approaches like the DSA?
Algorithmic fairness is critical because the content that platforms prioritize shapes everyday life, especially for young users. The DSA provides safeguards, but the provisions are not enough on their own; more concrete, enforceable measures are needed to address discrimination and to ensure equal opportunities across different groups.
Carissa Véliz: navigating LLM constraints in the pursuit of AI ethics
Q: How should policy like ADMT and GDPR be framed in relation to rights versus risk?
Policy should be grounded in fundamental rights and principles rather than purely cost-benefit risk calculations, recognizing that rights-based frameworks better protect individuals in the face of new technologies.
Carissa Véliz: navigating LLM constraints in the pursuit of AI ethics
Q: How do you see the balance between symbolic AI and data-driven approaches shaping ethical AI in practice?
Symbolic AI offers controllability and clear rules that can support ethical outcomes, especially where precise answers are needed, while data-driven models excel at handling complex, real-world patterns; a hybrid approach leverages the strengths of both.
Carissa Véliz: navigating LLM constraints in the pursuit of AI ethics
Q: Okay. Good. So I thought I would start with the benefits of causality versus correlation. Please.
Causation provides a deeper, more reliable explanation than correlation, serving as a gold standard in understanding what causes what; it guides more responsible analysis, especially in high-stakes domains like justice and privacy.
