During the height of the Kendrick Lamar–Drake beef earlier this year, disses and responses were flying thick and fast across social media. In the midst of it all, comedian and creator Will Hatcher helped make history when legendary hip-hop producer Metro Boomin sampled Hatcher's song "BBL Drizzy" for his diss track instrumental of the same name. Everyone wanting to take shots at Drake rapped on the beat; Metro Boomin gained notoriety for, according to Billboard, becoming "the first major producer to use an AI-generated sample." Under his alias King Willonius, Hatcher had released "BBL Drizzy" in April, riffing on a Rick Ross post on X that had joked about Drake getting a Brazilian butt lift. The song did well on X as Ross' diss trended, but the viral hype inevitably died down and Hatcher moved along to the next meme.

Willonius Hatcher was looking for a way in. He'd tried just about everything to break into Hollywood, and because there no longer exists a traditional entry point into its hallowed pantheon of performers--we can thank the internet for doing away with all notions of conventional success--the pursuit of it sometimes felt like a mirage. He could see it, and he knew he could get there because he believed in his talent, only the closer he got the farther the door seemed.

For more than 100 years, recording people's fingerprints has involved them pressing their fingertips against a surface. Originally this involved ink but has since moved to sensors embedded in scanners at airports and phone screens. The next stage of fingerprinting doesn't involve touching anything at all. So-called contactless fingerprinting technology uses your phone's camera and image processing algorithms to capture people's fingerprints. Hold your hand in front of the camera lens and the software can identify and record all the lines and swirls on your fingertips.

As AI begins to play a much larger role in our daily lives, informing healthcare decisions, making recommendations, helping us resolve customer service issues, talking with us as companion bots, making financial decisions, driving autonomous cars, and helping employees make more informed, faster decisions, it becomes more important that ethics and morality are built into AI applications. AI applications are making decisions that affect people's privacy, health, finances, jobs, criminal justice, safety, and overall happiness. Ethical AI is no longer an afterthought -- it must be built into the fabric of AI from this point forward. This article will look at the ways that ethics and diversity are being built into AI and the importance of doing so. To ensure that AI is ethical, it must be transparent and explainable.
