"Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in the next
generation of artificial intelligence, strengthens its commitment
to ethical AI by proudly introducing Dr. Inês Hipólito as AI
Ethicist.
Dr. Hipólito, an internationally renowned researcher in
cognitive neuroscience and AI, brings her knowledge and experience
to VERSES, championing the integration of ethical considerations,
inclusivity and environmental responsibility in AI design.
In her role at VERSES, Dr. Hipólito will drive the company’s
commitment to ethical AI development, minimizing social exclusion,
promoting transparency, inclusivity and preserving the natural
world.
"Dr. Hipólito’s appointment underscores our unwavering shift
towards identifying societal challenges as opportunities for
responsible and mission-driven AI development, prioritizing social
inclusivity, diversity and belonging in AI design," says Gabriel
René, CEO of VERSES. "Her philosophy aligns with our vision for
responsible and inclusive AI development. We firmly believe that
her expertise will greatly advance our mission to revolutionize
technology while respecting diversity, human rights and the
environment."
Dr. Hipólito’s research focuses on the complex relationship
between cognition and AI, exploring how the sociocultural
environment shapes cognitive development and AI design. As VERSES’
AI Ethicist, Dr. Hipólito will focus on four core areas:
Minimizing Social Exclusion: Dr. Hipólito will
lead efforts to ensure that VERSES’ AI technologies work to
minimize exclusion. She will guide the team in developing systems
that are fair, inclusive and provide equal opportunities for all
individuals, regardless of their social standing.
Explainability and Transparency: Under Dr.
Hipólito's stewardship, VERSES will strive for greater transparency
and explainability in AI systems’ development including
accountability mechanisms to address any unintended consequences or
biases.
Inclusive Design: Championing a collaborative
approach, Dr. Hipólito will oversee the implementation of an
inclusive design process. This will involve diverse stakeholders
and encourage a broad spectrum of perspectives to eliminate
potential biases and address unique challenges.
Protecting the Natural World: Respecting the
ecological balance, Dr. Hipólito will steer VERSES AI development
toward environmental sustainability. This entails examining the
environmental impact of VERSES AI technologies and promoting
practices that minimize harm to our planet.
Currently a Lecturer of Philosophy of AI at Macquarie University
in Sydney, NSW, Australia and a researcher at Ethics and Agency
Research Center, Dr. Hipólito has had an illustrious academic
career. Her work has been featured in numerous scientific journals
and she has co-edited several significant collections. She has also
received 19 research awards and was granted the prestigious
Talent Grant from the University of Amsterdam in
2021, where she conducted a research project on the positive and
negative impacts of smart environments employing active inference
models. Her profound insights and dedication to promoting ethical
AI practices made her a sought-after voice in science magazines and
podcasts appearances.
Dr. Hipólito is also co-founder and vice-president of the
International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the
Mind and the founder / host of The PhilospHER’s Way, a podcast
aimed at challenging the dominant way of philosophical thinking.
Her dedication to philosophy and research ethics is highlighted by
her service on the Women in Philosophy Committee and the Committee
in Diversity and Inclusivity at the Australasian Association of
Philosophy from 2017 to 2020.Dr. Hipólito held a postdoctoral and
lecturer position at the distinguished Berlin School of Mind and
Brain and the Philosophy Department at Humboldt-Universität zu
Berlin. She then became a Co-Principal Investigator of a consortium
project "Exploring and Designing Urban Density, Neurourbanism as a
Novel Approach in Global Health," funded by the Berlin University
Alliance.
"I am deeply committed to identifying societal problems that AI
can help solve, the ethical collection and use of data, algorithm
design, decision-making processes and the broader societal impacts
of AI." said Dr. Hipólito. “It is critical that in this role I am
both deeply aware of the ethical decisions we are making on a daily
basis and that I have the academic and professional independence to
move us in a different direction if needed. VERSES has been very
clear that we are aligned on this approach from the beginning.”
