Michael Chui and James Manyika examine the ethical implications of AI and how you can leverage the technology for good while considering the wide-reaching repercussions on business and human society alike. Michael and James draw on McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) research on the economic potential of AI and its use cases across sectors and functions, as well as how it can be applied for social good. Bias is a massive topic in AI right now, and you’ll hear some more research from McKinsey and MGI on ethical AI and AI and bias.
