    AI without Ethics is a bad combination. Without ethics in AI, we're headed for a disaster. Disruption is good, only if done in an ethical manner. These days, too many founders are eager to implement AI, but not a lot of them are keeping the ethics in mind. More business owners need to be educated on ethics portion of it too, not just the monetization aspect of it.

    • @minervafutureofwork
      @minervafutureofwork 23 дні тому

      Absolutely. Leaders and evangelists have a significant responsibility towards ensuring ethical use of AI (or any technology for that matter!)

      @@minervafutureofwork Last week here in Toronto, I was with a few fellow leaders and one of them was willing to use AI for certain unethical solutions. Needless to say she lost her credibility as a leader and her general thought process. Certainly, we will be keeping our distance from any potential collaboration.

    Late night motivation: I also want to start a social enterprise that is financially sustainable instead of chasing money throughout and just have an NGO!

    Interesting solution! I came across a similar company called Every Water, which offers low-cost purifiers that can be attached to taps, instantly turning regular tap water into safe drinking water-especially useful in areas impacted by the climate crisis or in rural regions where access to clean water is a challenge.
