Done in context of a miniproject in the course AI applications at university of applied sciences OST, written by Nick Wallner, Mirio Eggmann The goal of this project is to use and evaluate OpenAI.

Over the last four weeks, we have explored the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in real-world scenarios where automation can provide positive support to those in need and economy as a whole. However, AI can also be misused when in the hands of ill-intentioned people engaged in the global power-play. One of its manifestations is the increased weaponization of AI for the purposes of destabilizing the power balance. This presents a complex challenge for national governments as well as a growing threat to the global security of humanity. It is therefore in this context that this week's blog explores the positive and negative usage of Artificial Intelligence.

Whilst the main focus of Noble (2018) is on Google's algorithms and how its search engine reinforces racism and sexism, a wider social issue that can be deduced from her book, is the growth of artificial technology which might have negative consequences on the society, despite the assistance they provide in our everyday life. Noble (2018) believes that artificial intelligence will become a major human rights issue in the twenty-first century. Noble has spent some time debating the reasons for Google's racist and sexist search engine results. Her reasons range from paid advertising (I discussed this in my first blog post) to artificial errors developed by Google's automatic algorithms. These artificial errors can have serious repercussions on women because as pointed out by Halavais, search engines often help us with everyday life enquires and, therefore, we often trust in the results that appear without questioning it (As cited in Noble, 2018, p. 25).
