Professor Jungpil Hahn works for the Department of Information Systems and Analytics at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS). The Professor is an advocate for using AI responsibly.
“AI developers and business leaders should consider all relevant ethical considerations not only in order to be compliant with regulations but also for engendering trust from its consumers and users.”
“The primary challenge in applying AI ethical principles is that much of the discourse surrounding AI ethics and governance is too broad in the sense that the conversation surrounding it is at a very high level,” Professor Hahn said.
“How to actually operationalise and put it into action is still quite underdeveloped, and vague.”
The rapid uptake and widespread use of generative AI systems has put a spotlight on AI ethics and governance. The ‘lack of clear and explicit’ standards led Professor Hahn and colleagues to study the evolution of AI Governance.
“The “black box” nature of AI models, which makes it impossible to fully (exhaustively) know how it will perform/behave.” Professor Hahn added.
Should we still learn to code in the age of AI? Professor Hahn Jungpil says that AI has its limitations while computer education is about a way of thinking that goes beyond code.
While AI offers exciting potential for creative content creation, Professor Hahn Jungpil warns of its double-edged nature. Deepfakes pose a growing threat for spreading misinformation. He proposes proactive behavioural analysis as a promising strategy to combat this, acknowledging the challenges of regulating open-source AI and the limitations of current safeguards.
Professor Hahn Jungpil highlighted a critical challenge in the realm of deepfake detection. He emphasised that malicious actors could potentially gain an upper hand due to the need for enhanced deepfake training data to advance detection technologies.
NUS Computing graduates continued to command high employment rates and earned higher starting salaries in 2023, according to the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey 2023.
"I wanted to develop an interface that provides seamless access to people to interact with the world," said Associate Professor Suranga Nanayakkara. His team developed AiSee, the groundbreaking hands-free headset that helps visually impaired individuals 'see' by converting images to audio descriptions.
