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.

Cansu Canca, Ph.D.
“If I could just change the approach to ethics from policing to collaboration... putting in place these asking the right questions at the right time is interesting. It makes technology better and more exciting, to be honest.” — Dr. Cansu Canca
