AI Ethics

Do Exercise:

Imagine you have to recommend a medical treatment for a patient with a rare disease. Treatment A has an 80% chance of extending life by 5 years, but with significant side effects. Treatment B has a 60% chance of curing the disease completely but also a 20% risk of immediate fatality.

1) Without knowing anything else, which treatment would you recommend?

2) What other information, if you had it, would help inform your decision for this patient?

3) Present this scenario to your preferred Generative AI system and compare its answer to yours.

[Extra Credit] – present the same scenario to different forms of Generative AI and compare their answers.

Adaptability and Resilience: We Are Not All Doomed

Do: Exercise

1) Think of something you do differently today than you used to. For example, it could be how you learn something new or how you do a household chore.

Write down:

Specifically what you do today
How it differs from your previous approach
What is better and worse about this new approach

2) Think of something you can change to make you ready for a rapidly changing future work environment, such as creating a daily learning habit.

Write down what you will change, and the very first step you will pursue today.
