AI’s moral compass with a jack of all trades
Hello, and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.
This is our Wednesday show, where we niche down to a single person, think about their work and unpack the rest. This week, Natasha interviewed a jack of all trades in the AI world with a focus on governance: Navrina Singh. Navrina is the founder and CEO of CredoAI, a governance platform helping organizations monitor, measure and manage AI-introduced risks.
We’re talking about:
- Navrina’s wedge into the world of AI, and when governance went from a lonely conversation to a global focus
- Her experience with Microsoft, observing how the EU AI Act’s legislation is coming together, and her work as a member of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC) — which advises President Biden and the National AI Initiative Office
- Regulation, responsible AI and getting over “AI hypocrisy”
- Casting fear aside as a motivator for change
- Navrina’s thoughts on recent news in AI, including GPT-4’s launch and Microsoft’s ethical AI team layoffs
