In this episode, Bryan DeWalt interviews Allison Kobzowicz and Dr. Jae Wan Ahn to continue our series exploring AI. This time, we focus on its impact on education and criminal justice fields. For education, we discuss beneficial uses of generative AI in the classroom and proposed guidelines for its effective use. For criminal justice, we talk about how algorithm based tools like predictive policing and computer vision have shaped law enforcement for decades. This episode also addresses transparency and accountability measures to encourage the ethical development of generative AI. The content for this episode is based on the full report Artificial Intelligence: Advisory Committee Recommendations on the Adoption and Use of AI in Pennsylvania, available on the JSGC website.
