AI, Corporate Responsibility & Democratic Legitimacy: Extended Q&A • Joanna Bryson • GOTO 2025

Why watch

Joanna Bryson challenges popular AI narratives in this extended Q&A, arguing that current generative AI systems are powerful tools that compress human cultural knowledge rather than autonomous intelligences. She emphasizes that transparency, accountability, and democratic oversight are more important than debates about machine consciousness, and that engineers, companies, policymakers, and citizens all have agency in shaping AI's deployment and regulation. The session is valuable for tech professionals and decision-makers seeking to understand responsible AI development beyond hype and fear.
