About this listen
Can math be prejudiced? Host Abhishek Roy explores why trading human intuition for machine "efficiency" often has a hidden shadow. This episode journeys through the ethical dilemmas of the COMPAS algorithm, the "Quality-Adjusted Life Year" (QALY) metric in healthcare, and the cultural nuances of MIT’s Moral Machine experiment.
Abhishek proposes a four-phase systemic plan to re-engineer AI—from pre-training audits to the "Human Circuit Breaker". If you value fairness over a fast answer, this episode is for you.
