A New Report on Ethical AI, An Older Post about AI Ethics Traps, and Some Hopes

#artificialintelligence

Irina Raicu is the director of the Internet Ethics program (@IEthics) at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. In June, the Pew Research Center released a report titled "Experts Doubt Ethical AI Design Will Be Broadly Adopted as the Norm Within the Next Decade." It details responses from "[s]ome 602 technology innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, researchers and activists" to a question that the research center posed (in a collaboration with the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University). The authors of the report are careful to note that it was "a nonscientific canvassing, based on a nonrandom sample," and that the results "represent only the opinions of the individuals who responded to the queries and are not projectable to any other population." Those important qualifications got lost in some of the media coverage of the report, however.
