explainability inclusion social cohesion a review of AI ethics guidelines major themes

slide-38
SLIDE 38

accountability privacy fairness 80% of guidelines include... significant technical efforts

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Where are the gaps? seeing ethical AI mainly as a technical problem

  • ther approaches like collective action - self organization, right incentives, right public policy
slide-40
SLIDE 40

Where are the gaps? violating ethics standards and codes have no consequences

technology outpaces the law | no professional bodies or regulations to reinforce behavior

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Where are the gaps? vague guidelines and little focus on self development

reading guidelines tend to have no influence | developing our own self-responsibility and caring

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Where are the gaps? skipping ethics for profit and efficiency

lack of time and resources for broader questioning

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Where are the gaps? seeing ethical AI mainly as a technical problem skipping ethics for profit and efficiency violating ethics standards and codes have no consequences vague guidelines and little focus on self development

slide-44

harmful consequences of AI - social trends INEQUALITY LOSS OF LIBERTY

Privacy IS Liberty Increased control by corporations and government through surveillance Worker / Employer Inequality Widening Socioeconomic Gaps Political / Democratic Disruption

DECAY OF TRUTH

Bad actors manipulate AI systems to control the narrative for narrow gain Intentional attacks on our shared understanding

PART 4 WHAT CAN WE DO

slide-46
SLIDE 46

WHAT CAN WE DO DEVELOP SELF

Widen your caring not just technicals!

slide-47
SLIDE 47

WHAT CAN WE DO DEVELOP SELF DISCUSS VALUES

Widen your caring not just technicals! Openly discuss gap between values + action

slide-48
SLIDE 48

WHAT CAN WE DO DEVELOP SELF DISCUSS VALUES QUESTION BROADLY

Widen your caring not just technicals! Who / what are we empowering? not just cost efficiency Keep asking - write it down Openly discuss gap between values + action

slide-49
SLIDE 49

WHAT CAN WE DO DEVELOP SELF DISCUSS VALUES QUESTION BROADLY PUBLIC PRESSURE

Widen your caring not just technicals! Who / what are we empowering? not just cost efficiency Keep asking - write it down Openly discuss gap between values + action Be an active citizen Change the system, not just the individual / organization
