Program Overview

During the past months, we have seen much handwringing about the ethical use of emerging technologies both on a local and global aspect, especially LLMs such as Grammarly and ChatGPT who seem to complete human tasks faster and better than humans. Ultimately, as we design the ethical parameters of the use of these technologies, each of us has the opportunity to work within our circle of influence to inform our own and the community's understanding of how to use these emerging technologies ethically. This presentation will focus on how we can identify our circle of influence and use our own power of choice and persuasion in shaping the ethics of emerging technologies.

Catharyn Baird

Professor, entrepreneur, and author Catharyn Baird, JD, is the Founder/CEO of EthicsGame, LLC and Professor of Business, Emeritus, Regis University, Denver, CO. Baird’s research resulted in the development of the Ethical Lens Inventory™, a typology that has been used by more than 650,000 people to determine their ethical preference and leadership style.

Baird’s unique approach to ethics and vibrant communication skills have resulted in national recognition. EthicsGame’s leading edge pedagogy was featured in the January/ February 2013 BizEd. She is also a highly sought out speaker for universities and professional organizations. She was featured as a TEDxMileHi presenter in June of 2015, Ideas Unbridled. Her presentation, Ethics For People on the Move, explores how we define an ethical life, and how we can leverage ethical plurality to wisely build strong cultures.
