As we navigate the digital age, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly significant. Yet, it's not just about technological advancement, but also the ethical implications. Let's delve into the importance of ethical AI in shaping our world.
Concerns
When the main purpose of burgeoning tech is to emulate human reasoning, those in the process of innovating such solutions shouldn’t take the responsibility lightly when deciding which points-of-view will be represented.
- Humanity encompasses a great many perspectives and backgrounds from all over the planet with varying experiences, upbringings, and knowledge-bases. It’s vital for those teams working on AI solutions to represent that reality both amongst themselves and within the technology itself.
Financial/lender qualifying data solutions must look outside the scope of “typical” or “acceptable” demography when determining applicant approvals
Educational opportunity/admission acceptance tools must not default to overgeneralized statistical data when considering student submissions from across the globe
The Transparency of XAI Can Help
There is an urgency for artificial intelligence that provides an inside look into its own reasoning process.
- Human trust in AI grows when users have a sustained capability to access every step of the process, hold the system accountable, and immediately intervene if its “moral compass” starts slipping.
