The Quiet Power of AI | Elisabeth Austad Asser | TEDxArendal

  1. In what ways do everyday technologies and AI systems silently shape our values, habits, and understanding of what is “normal” or “efficient”?
  2. If algorithms increasingly make decisions about education, work, or access to resources, where should human responsibility and accountability remain—and why?
  3. Can AI ever be “neutral,” or is every system inevitably a reflection of the values and interests of those who design and deploy it?
  4. How might AI reinforce existing social inequalities, even when it is intended to be objective or fair?
  5. What should take priority in the design of AI systems: efficiency, profitability, or the protection of human agency and dignity?
