AI Ethics Explained — 3 Failures and the Engineering Framework to Prevent Them | Master AI & ML E30
AI ethics conversations are usually either abstract philosophy or corporate boilerplate — neither is useful if you're actually building AI systems today. This episode is the practical version: ethics as engineering decisions with measurable consequences.
In this episode:
→ 3 real AI failures analysed: Optum health algorithm, Amazon hiring tool, COMPAS recidivism scoring
→ Why good intentions don't produce ethical AI systems — and what actually does
→ Dimension 1: Bias and fairness — proxy variables, feedback loops, and the fairness definition problem
→ Dimension 2: Transparency and explainability — matching explainability investment to decision stakes
→ Dimension 3: Privacy and consent — data minimisation and purpose limitation as engineering requirements
→ Dimension 4: Accountability and oversight — who owns the decision when the system fails
→ A 6-question pre-deployment ethics checklist for any consequential AI system
This is Episode 30 of Master AI & Machine Learning — Module 6: Ethics, Strategy & Future, Episode 1 of 6.
