Study Notes
AI Ethics Introduction
- AI ethics encompasses guidelines for AI design and outcomes.
- Human biases (recency, confirmation) are reflected in data used to train AI, leading to biased AI systems.
- AI ethics is a set of guidelines advising on the design and outcomes of artificial intelligence, crucial for responsible AI development.
- Human cognitive biases (like recency and confirmation bias) are present in data used for AI training, which manifests in AI systems' behavior, perpetuating existing societal biases.
Key Ethical Principles in AI
- Fairness: Absence of prejudice or favoritism. AI must minimize bias within algorithms; algorithmic bias can lead to unfair discrimination impacting crucial sectors like hiring, lending, and criminal justice.
- Privacy: Assuring user and data privacy throughout the system lifecycle.
- Transparency: Explaining how and why AI systems make decisions. Standards and models are needed to measure and verify transparency levels, critical for understanding AI decision-making processes.
- Responsibility and Accountability: Determining who is accountable when AI systems have issues. Stakeholders must accept responsibility for system decisions; clear accountability measures are essential.
- Explainability: AI systems should be transparent about the logic behind their recommendations. This is crucial for various stakeholders and objectives. Understanding AI's "why" is paramount for diverse stakeholders.
Ethical Challenges of AI
- Bias and Discrimination: AI systems trained on biased data (e.g., historical hiring data with gender or racial biases) perpetuate unfair or discriminatory outcomes—hiring, lending, criminal justice, resource allocation. Historical bias in training data creates discriminatory outcomes. For example, an AI applicant screening system, trained on biased historical hiring data, may discriminate against candidates not matching previous hires.
- Social Manipulation and Misinformation: AI can spread false information, manipulate public opinion, and amplify social divisions. Deepfakes pose significant risks to political processes, election interference, and political stability. Fake news, misinformation, and disinformation are amplified by AI algorithms. Countermeasures are crucial.
