BABL AI Co-Founder Guest Lectures on AI Bias and Auditing at Blekinge Institute of Technology
BABL AI’s Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Jeffery Recker, recently delivered a guest lecture at the prestigious Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Karlskrona, Sweden. The session, attended by graduate students in engineering and sustainability, explored how AI bias and AI auditing connect to social sustainability.
Understanding AI Bias and Its Impact
Recker outlined different types of AI bias, their origins, and the real-world impact on diverse demographic groups. He stressed that recognizing bias is the first step, but organizations must also act to mitigate it. Ethical practices, he explained, are essential for building socially sustainable technologies.
Engaging With Students and Faculty
Throughout the lecture, Recker encouraged open dialogue. He highlighted why education matters, particularly for parents concerned about protecting children from biased AI systems. “I really enjoyed having open conversations with the students and faculty on the importance of AI bias and what people can do to become more educated, especially as it relates to parents and protecting their children,” said Recker.
BTH’s Commitment to Cutting-Edge Topics
The event formed part of BTH’s mission to integrate emerging issues into its curriculum. As a result, students learn to connect technical innovation with ethical responsibility. By focusing on AI ethics, the institute prepares future engineers and sustainability leaders to handle the risks and responsibilities of new technologies. In addition, BTH encourages collaborations that link classroom learning to real-world challenges. This approach strengthens its reputation as a leader in applied research.
