AI ethics, fashion design and community engagement

“Be prepared, read about AI, always question it… and realise that humans are still in control.” In this final episode of the MetCast digital mini-series, Professor Keeley Crockett, expert in computational intelligence at Manchester Met, explores the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence - what it really is, how it’s being used, and why ethical considerations matter more than ever. From concerns around job automation and copyright to the rise of deepfakes and misinformation, the episode unpacks some of the biggest challenges AI presents. We also look at how tools like AI-powered fashion design software are enhancing creativity and opening up new career opportunities, rather than replacing them. Importantly, we also hear how community involvement is shaping the future of AI through innovative projects like Peas in Pods and the People’s Panel for AI projects. These initiatives empower underrepresented voices to take part in key decisions around the development and use of AI technologies.
