The Dark Side of AI

Please note this is a shared event with Meetup. We thank Silke Noll for bringing this talk to life by setting it up as a recording in NZ and over NZ wide meetup groups. Silke lives in NZ, is a Kanban Trainer, and is also on the organizing committee for Kanban Australia. 

AI-based recruiting tools don’t like women. An average ChatGPT conversation consumes 500ml/ 16,91oz of water. Data annotators are not only challenged by low wages but also by mental health issues. These examples show that AI has issues addressing social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

All too often we are looking at the bright side only: the opportunities, innovations, conveniences (e.g., write that article for me), and fun (e.g., create that fun image). And certainly, AI does or can enhance both our private and professional lives. However, these enhancements come at a price. This has been observed by the UN, with the consequence that a resolution has been adopted to promote “safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems that also benefit sustainable development.”

In this session, Jutta will explore practices that can help us all to become aware of our blind spots and this way be able to create AI 4 Sustainability. So, it seems AI 4 Sustainability requires a lot of work. Let’s get started.

Jutta Eckstein works as an independent coach, consultant, and trainer. She has recently co-created an assessment for (agile) teams to gauge the environmental, social, and economic impact of their products and services. Besides that, she has published her experience in various books, having pair-written the most recent one with John Buck on Company-wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy (dubbed BOSSA nova).

Jutta has served the board of the Agile Alliance (from 2003-2007) and has recently founded the “Agile Sustainability Initiative” which aims at increasing the awareness of the Agile community’s possibilities to make a difference. She’s a member of the program committee of many different American, Asian, and European conferences, where she has presented her work. She holds an M.A. in Business Coaching & Change Management, a Dipl.Eng. (MSc.) in Product-Engineering, and is trained as a pollution control commissioner on ecological environmentalism.
