This webinar aimed to responsibly explore ethical discussions on artificial intelligence (AI) and its future. The session focused on key p rinciples of Responsible AI\, such as fairness\, transparency\, accountabi lity\, privacy\, sustainability\, and inclusivity\, as well as the future directions of AI research.\n\nAKM Bahalul Haque\, a renowned academic and researcher\, was the keynote speaker for this event. He is currently on le ave from his position as a lecturer in the Electrical and Computer Enginee ring Department at North South University. He is pursuing his D.Sc. in Sof tware Engineering at LUT University\, Finland. Mr. Haque holds an M.Sc. in Information Technology from Kiel University of Applied Sciences\, Germany \, and a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Telecommunication Engineering from Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU).\n\nThe speaker began th e webinar by discussing the concepts and research directions of Artificial Intelligence (AI). He explained that AI is a designed artefact and highli ghted the importance of Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI). He also highlighted the need for human oversight and accountability in AI systems \, ensuring these systems are designed and operated for the benefit of soc iety while minimizing potential harm.\n\nHe discussed the importance of al igning AI with societal values\, highlighting the critical need for fairne ss\, transparency\, and accountability in AI systems. He addressed key con cepts related to ethics and human values\, governance and regulation\, tru stworthiness\, data quality\, privacy\, and AI's social and environmental impact. He also addressed the ethical challenges of autonomous systems\, h uman-AI collaboration\, and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society. He encouraged participants to discuss real-world dilemmas related to AI ethics.\n\nMr Haque discussed the need for global ethical AI standa rds and improved interpretability of AI models. He highlighted the importa nce of aligning AI development with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) a nd compliance regulations like the EU AI Act. He also discussed the future of AI research\, promoting collaboration between policymakers and AI rese archers to ensure that AI acts as a positive and equitable force in societ y.\n\nAt the end of the webinar\, participants were encouraged to ask ques tions\, and our speaker thoughtfully addressed each one. The webinar ended at 9:00 PM on a warm note as AKM Bahalul Haque received a token of apprec iation from Saif Ahmed\, the Branch Counselor for the IEEE NSU Student Bra nch. Attendees found the session valuable and left with a deeper understan ding of the ethical challenges and opportunities in the future of AI resea rch.\n\nSpeaker(s): AKM Bahalul Haque\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ie ee.org/m/461072 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461072 ORGANIZER:insbiassbc001@gmail.com SEQUENCE:19 SUMMARY:Ethics Meets Innovation: The Future of Responsible AI Research URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461072 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr">IEEE NSU Industry Applications S ociety hosted a webinar\, <strong>"Ethics Meets Innovation: The Future of Responsible AI Research\," </strong>on January 11\, 2025.
