Maximizing generative AI’s promise while minimizing its misuse requires an inclusive approach that puts humans first. Which is why the design of these formidable
systems must include experts from diverse backgrounds, says James Landay, a professor of computer science at Stanford University and today’s guest on this episode of the At the Edge. Hear his conversation with host and McKinsey senior partner,
Lareina Yee, about how to develop safe, inclusive, and effective AI.
