Institute for Ethics in AI Seminar - 'Barbies: Goods That People Buy But Wish Did Not Exist'
Briefly

People use social media platforms and goods they dislike, driven by the need to signal to others and avoid negative perceptions, despite the welfare loss.
Individuals are often willing to engage with disliked goods to maintain status and position within networks, reflecting deep-rooted social and psychological dynamics.
Legal responses to unwanted goods could include nudges and taxes, which may help align ethical consumption with societal welfare even amidst growing AI challenges.
The Institute for Ethics in AI plans to merge expert insights with practical applications, focusing on urgent ethical dilemmas related to AI technology in today’s society.
