This is a labor of the Learning Community cohort that was convened by MAIEI in Winter 2021 to work through and discuss important research issues in the field of AI ethics from a multidisciplinary lens. The community came together supported by facilitators from the MAIEI staff to vigorously debate and explore the nuances of issues like bias, privacy, disinformation, accountability, and more especially examining them from the perspective of industry, civil society, academia, and government. The outcome of these discussions is reflected in the report that you are reading now - an exploration of a variety of issues with deep-dive, critical commentary on what has been done, what worked and what didn't, and what remains to be done so that we can meaningfully move forward in addressing the societal challenges posed by the deployment of AI systems. The chapters titled "Design and Techno-isolationism", "Facebook and the Digital Divide: Perspectives from Myanmar, Mexico, and India", "Future of Work", and "Media & Communications & Ethical Foresight" will hopefully provide with you novel lenses to explore this domain beyond the usual tropes that are covered in the domain of AI ethics.
翻译:2021年冬季,MAIEI召集了学习社区小组,从多学科角度研究并讨论AI伦理领域的重要研究问题。社区在MAIEI工作人员的促进者的支持下聚集一堂,积极辩论和探讨偏见、隐私、虚假信息、问责制等问题的细微差别,特别是从产业、民间社会、学术界和政府的角度研究这些问题。这些讨论的结果反映在你现在正在阅读的报告中 — — 探讨一系列问题,包括深刻、批判性的评论,说明已经做了哪些工作、没有做什么,还有哪些工作有待完成,以便我们能够在部署AI系统带来的社会挑战上取得有意义的进展。题为“设计与技术隔离”、“脸书与数字分歧:缅甸、墨西哥和印度的观点”、“工作前景”和“媒体与通信与道德展望”的章节有望向你们提供新颖的透镜,用以在AI道德领域所覆盖的常规外探索这一领域。
