AI Could Learn a Thing or Two from These Three Fields

It's no secret that the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fraught with scandals, biases and limitations. There's also no shortage of attempts to fix these issues, whether coming from tech, mathematics, ethics, or even design. What's becoming more and more clear is that there will never be a one-size-fits all solution to these problems, and instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, the field could benefit greatly from taking advantage of existing movements and trends moving towards human-centeredness and inclusivity. In a broad sense, participation means to take part in something. One of the important benefits of stakeholder participation in the field of AI is to more evenly distribute the power of decision-making and having an influential voice among the parties affected by a technology or intervention and especially those experiencing "structural oppression" or "systemic disadvantages".
