AI ethics in gambling with Earle G Hall: TGF RTFM 221

First up this week, we have Jon and stand-in interim co-host Melanie Ellis, partner at Northridge Law discussing… well, lots of things, really. You know how it goes [0:00 – 26:03].
Then we follow that with returning guest Earle G Hall, CEO at AXES.ai, to discuss the ethical use of AI within the gambling industry. We go elbow-deep into the implications of AI in the industry, particularly focusing on the ethical guidelines proposed by the IGSA. We discuss the importance of data integrity, the role of blockchain, and the challenges of implementing ethical AI practices, the current uses of AI in gambling, the balance between responsible gambling and marketing strategies, and the future of AI regulations.
Speaking of AI, it tells me that: “Throughout the discussion, personal anecdotes and humour are interwoven, making for a lively and thought-provoking dialogue.” [26:04 – 1:50:18]
Choice quotes:
"AI without blockchain is complete chaos."
"You cannot code fog."
