08 August 2024

In a recent episode of the VistaTalks podcast, host Simon Hodgkins sat down with Louise McCormack, a PhD researcher and industry expert, to discuss the evolving landscape of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI). Louise McCormack, an ADAPT PhD researcher and leading voice in AI ethics, brings a unique perspective from academia to the broader discussion on how AI can be developed and implemented responsibly.
