ClarifAI: Enhancing AI Interpretability and Transparency through Case-Based Reasoning and Ontology-Driven Approach for Improved Decision-Making

Vemula, Srikanth

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This study introduces Clarity and Reasoning Interface for Artificial Intelligence (ClarifAI), a novel approach designed to augment the transparency and interpretability of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of improved decision making. Leveraging the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methodology and integrating an ontology-driven approach, ClarifAI aims to meet the intricate explanatory demands of various stakeholders involved in AI-powered applications. The paper elaborates on ClarifAI's theoretical foundations, combining CBR and ontologies to furnish exhaustive explanation mechanisms. It further elaborates on the design principles and architectural blueprint, highlighting ClarifAI's potential to enhance AI interpretability across different sectors and its applicability in high-stake environments.


Think Fast, Think Slow, Think Critical: Designing an Automated Propaganda Detection Tool

In today's digital age, characterized by rapid news consumption and increasing vulnerability to propaganda, fostering citizens' critical thinking is crucial for stable democracies. This paper introduces the design of ClarifAI, a novel automated propaganda detection tool designed to nudge readers towards more critical news consumption by activating the analytical mode of thinking, following Kahneman's dual-system theory of cognition. Using Large Language Models, ClarifAI detects propaganda in news articles and provides context-rich explanations, enhancing users' understanding and critical thinking. Our contribution is threefold: first, we propose the design of ClarifAI; second, in an online experiment, we demonstrate that this design effectively encourages news readers to engage in more critical reading; and third, we emphasize the value of explanations for fostering critical thinking. The study thus offers both a practical tool and useful design knowledge for mitigating propaganda in digital news.

Match.com wants FTC court proceedings over users' biometric data privacy kept quiet

#artificialintelligence

Online dating company Match Group wants the court proceedings in an investigation being carried out by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly sharing users' photos with a facial recognition company to proceed in secret. The news comes from a Reuters investigation, after it spotted an FTC petition filed on 26 May forcing Match to provide documents related to an alleged 2014 data-sharing deal between Match subsidiary OkCupid and biometric solutions provider Clarifai. The background is that in 2019 a New York Times article claimed that Clarifai built its database of faces for biometric algorithm training using OkCupid user photos provided by an OkCupid founder and Clarifai investor. At the time, both OkCupid and Match denied any commercial agreement with Clarifai, so in 2020 the FTC followed up by demanding documentation around that alleged deal. A lawsuit filed under Illinois' BIPA was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and the companies hid behind attorney-client and work-product privilege to avoid providing the requested 136 documents, which in turn led to May's petition by the FTC.


A biometric data privacy win in court is followed by a related FTC investigation and lawsuit

#artificialintelligence

Executives at facial recognition firm Clarifai may have sighed with relief in March 2021 when a judge agreed that they could not be sued for violating Illinois' biometric privacy law, but then the federal government came knocking. The Federal Trade Commission now wants to know how the face image that a woman posted on the OkCupid dating site ended up being used as training data by Clarifai without her consent or disclosing the transaction as required by Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act. Clarifai makes computer vision, deep learning AI and biometrics systems. Claiming that its investigation is being stonewalled by Match Group, owner of OkCupid, the FTC has filed suit (case number 1:22-mc-00054), according to Bloomberg Law. The government claims that OkCupid engaged in unfair and deceptive conduct by sharing biometric data with Clarifai in 2014.

A.I. and the Human Bias Problem

#artificialintelligence

Those that haven't, are struggling to survive. We aren't, and what sets us apart, keeps us alive, and on top, is our intelligence. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, allows us to clone this great gift, i.e. human intelligence, using machines. In this article, we won't cover what's widely known -- how AI is changing the world for the better, from suggesting what you should watch next on Netflix to detecting signs of cancer in medical images better than doctors. We will instead focus on what's not often talked about -- how human bias can creep into AI, and how to avoid it.
