Study Notes
- Gaith Takrity and Hani Eldalees have researched artificial intelligence for over a decade.
- They received an unexpected email stating that working in artificial intelligence would harm humanity.
- Artificial intelligence topics cover various aspects, from groundbreaking discoveries to mundane issues like marital advice and diet plans.
- Some discussions revolve around potential risks and ethical dilemmas, such as requiring a divorce or applying a specific diet plan using artificial intelligence.
- Companies in the technology sector have been accused of not disclosing energy consumption and carbon emissions from large artificial intelligence models like Bloom and GPT-3.
- These large language models consume significant amounts of energy and emit a substantial amount of carbon dioxide.
- Smaller models have been developed to replace larger ones with better efficiency and less carbon emissions.
- Artificial intelligence models can be implemented in various devices, including smartphones, search engines, and refrigerators, leading to substantial energy consumption.
- Performing extensive searches in large datasets, such as LAION-5B, can provide clues about the use of creators' works for artificial intelligence training without their consent.
- Spawning.ai, founded by artists, developed a tool called "Did My Art Train You?" to investigate whether their works were used for training artificial intelligence models without their knowledge or permission.
- Creative works, particularly those by artists like Carl Ortiz, can be identified in large datasets and used for artificial intelligence training without the creators' consent, potentially violating copyright laws.
- Spawning.ai recently entered a partnership with Hugging Face, a company that creates access and cancellation tools for large datasets, to address this issue.
- Artificial intelligence models perform pattern recognition and classification, potentially infringing on copyrighted works by recognizing and using specific patterns or features.- Dr. Joyce Bolaños discovered that artificial intelligence systems could not identify her face unless she wore white masks.
- She found that facial recognition systems were significantly less accurate for women of color compared to white men.
- When biased models are used in legal or criminal contexts, it can lead to false accusations and even wrongful imprisonment.
- For instance, Borsha and Wodrow were falsely accused of car theft based on incorrect facial recognition identification.
- The creators of these models cannot determine the reason for their bias or how it was implemented.
- For image generation models, using them in legal contexts can result in labeling individuals as criminals, terrorists, or members of extremist groups, with serious consequences.
- Dr. Bolaños developed the Stable Bias Explorer to investigate the bias in image generation models from a professional perspective.
- By analyzing various images, she discovered a significant representation of white men and women in 150 professions, even when compared to the real world.
- The legal systems and economies we live in already incorporate artificial intelligence, and as these systems become more widespread, it is essential to understand their behavior and limitations.
- There is no easy solution to complex problems like bias, copyright issues, or environmental changes. However, by creating tools to measure the impact of artificial intelligence, we can begin to address these issues as they emerge.
- Start by creating protective barriers for society and the planet.
- Upon obtaining this information, corporations can choose models that are more energy-efficient, respect copyright laws, and honor user privacy.
- Authors who need information to write laws can use these tools to develop new regulatory frameworks or governance structures for artificial intelligence.
- Users like you and me can use this information to choose artificial intelligence models that we trust and feel comfortable with, without having our identities distorted or misrepresented.
- Instead of focusing on potential future threats posed by artificial intelligence, we should address the current and pervasive impacts it has on our lives.
- Artificial intelligence moves quickly, but it is not an unstoppable force. We can work together to determine the direction we want to go in.
- Thank you for your attention. (End of message)
