The tech world has a secret: we're using Deep Learning AI without fully understanding how it works. And yet many of us interact with it every single day, sometimes unknowingly, other times unsure of the consequences. Eleanor Manley, an AI engineer, argues for a shift towards a more informed engagement with Deep Learning AI, emphasising the need to address harms like hallucinations, copyright issues and negative bias for a responsible use of technology. As a Machine Learning Engineer and AI Director, Eleanor’s work spans from co-founding a VC-funded tech company to influencing AI practices across major brands. Her contributions have been recognized by organisations like NATO and Bosch as well as featured in Times Square in New York. Eleanor is on a mission to make AI more inclusive for all.
