A lot of these pieces on "ethical AI" just seems like theater to me. I'm sure if you ask the authors of the modern techniques of facial recognition, they'd tell you all about the wonderful and great things you can accomplish with it. And yet we also have state actors using it for great harm, and this is true of a lot of foundational AI work that then powers AI solutions to problems.
Maybe this kind of "push" from conferences will help power a change, but the given the replication crisis (which the author mentions) has been well known for a long time and nothing has really happened on that front, I wouldn't hold my breath.
- asciident 6y agoThere's a handful of ethical AI tropes I hear over and over. The (made up) story about Target predicting a pregnancy before she knew, the concern of using it to predict parole, face detection not working with dark-skinned people, and the trolley problem. Every talk is some permutation of these. I would love to hear actual solutions, guidelines, and deeper threads of research.
- naresh_xai 6y agoHappy to share a lot more ethical and challenges of non transparent AI via email with you. Bigger companies are pretty much hiding behind non transparent models and trying to ignore their failures at the moment.
