Artificial intelligence is making big waves in the tech world. As companies push to integrate AI into the everyday practices of consumers, questions of ethics, biases and government regulation abound. 

A new story on Wired explores these tensions and talks with University of Michigan School of Information intermittent lecturer in information Merve Hickok. Hickok is an expert in AI bias and AI policy and governance.

“Some things need to be mandated because we have seen over and over again that if not mandated, these companies continue to break things and continue to push for profit over rights, and profit over communities,” Hickok says.
