Entrepreneurship and Tech Ethics
In this episode we’re joined by Kevin Bowyer, Ph.D., the Schubmehl-Prein Family Professor of Computer Science and Engineering University of Notre Dame for a conversation about artificial intelligence, technology ethics, and entrepreneurship. Kevin’s research is in the areas of computer vision and human biometrics, with an emphasis on practical applications. His work has been foundational to the recent renaissance in artificial intelligence.
Kevin has had a truly fascinating career in computer science, beginning with an early foray into computer vision and pattern recognition which led to big questions about where the technology was headed. Kevin will tell us about a book he authored on computer ethics in the 1990s, and how things have changed since he started teaching a course on ethics in Notre Dame’s Computer Science and Engineering department more recently. He’ll also share his experience teaching a course on technology entrepreneurship, including practical tips for aspiring founders and insider stories about start-up companies that have spun out of Notre Dame.
The Ethics at Work podcast is edited and produced by Nat Todaro and Megan Levis. To learn more about the ethics at work project you can find us at ethicsatwork.nd.edu.
