Unlock the secrets of responsible AI with Payal Thakur from JobsOhio, as we uncover the pillars of leadership, legal governance, security, and privacy that must be integrated into AI product development. Discover the real dangers of irresponsible AI, from deep fakes to scams, and learn how JobsOhio is using AI to draw major players like Intel and AWS to Ohio, boosting the local economy and creating job opportunities. Through collaboration and communication, we aim to mitigate AI risks and harness its incredible benefits.

But the conversation doesn't end there. We also tackle the broader societal implications, focusing on the persistent digital divide. Explore the technical community's fight against biases in AI and the necessity of building technology that can be controlled and monitored. Payal and I dive into how the lack of broadband access and digital skills can widen these gaps, especially in a post-COVID world. Learn why it's critical to institutionalize responsible technology practices, much like cybersecurity, and how mature technical communities and consortiums can lead the way in shaping these standards.
