In this talk, using only cartoons illustrated by Iyad Rahwan, the director of the Center for Humans and Machines Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, we will explore the popular fears of AI, their nature, causes, and how to counter them. The talk will further draw on a wealth of research by Rahwan, his collaborators, others in the wider AI and social science community, and on the expertise of our RPA’s, Human(e) AI, postdoctoral researchers in Responsible AI, Anthi Solaki and Christopher Starke.
