Featured Podcast: Dr. Cansu Canca on Discovery's Curiosity Weekly: “The Puzzle of AI Ethics"

We're excited to share that Dr. Cansu Canca, Director of the Responsible AI Practice at Northeastern University's Institute for Experiential AI, was recently featured on Discovery's Curiosity Weekly, a podcast that brings leading voices to explore timely and thought-provoking topics.

In Episode 24: “The Puzzle of AI Ethics,” Dr. Canca speaks with Senior Producer Teresa Carey about the rise of the intention economy, where AI systems aren’t just fighting for your attention, but shaping your decisions before you even realize it. The conversation explores how AI systems predict human behavior, the blurred line between nudging and manipulation, and the importance of embedding ethics into the design of AI technologies from the start.

“Every time we are developing something, we are actually trying to create some progress in humanity and for individuals. If that's the idea, then ethics is really at the source of innovation.
It is the reason why we are doing the innovation. The way to think about it shouldn't be, we innovate and then ethics comes in and checks us.” — Dr. Cansu Canca
