Ethical AI in the Cloud: Responsibility, Professionalism, and the Challenge

**Ethical AI in the Cloud: Responsibility, Professionalism, and the Challenge of Distributed Accountability
**

As AI development and deployment move increasingly into the cloud, questions of ethical responsibility become more complex. Cloud infrastructure has blurred the traditional boundaries between developer, provider, and user — making it harder to determine who holds moral and professional responsibility when AI systems produce unintended or problematic outcomes.

In this talk,Dr. Blay Whitby explore how long-established codes of professional ethics for computing (such as those of the BCS, ACM, and IEEE) apply in today’s cloud environment. The discussion might cover the moral implications of “AI as a service,” the shared responsibilities between cloud engineers and platform providers, and the importance of professional judgement when working with opaque, large-scale systems.

By bridging AI ethics and cloud practice, it would invite attendees to consider how technical expertise and ethical reflection must evolve together in a distributed, cloud-driven world.
