Automated decision-making as domination
par Jenna Burrell le 14/04/2024 à 7:00
Machine learning ethics research is demonstrably skewed. Work that defines fairness as a matter of distribution or allocation and that proposes computationally tractable definitions of fairness has been overproduced and overpublished. This paper takes a sociological approach to explain how subtle […]

Debunking robot rights metaphysically, ethically, and legally
par Abeba Birhane, Jelle van Dijk, Frank Pasquale le 14/04/2024 à 7:00
In this work we challenge the argument for robot rights on metaphysical, ethical and legal grounds. Metaphysically, we argue that machines are not the kinds of things that may be denied or granted rights. Building on theories of phenomenology and post-Cartesian approaches to cognitive science, we […]

The TESCREAL bundle: Eugenics and the promise of utopia through artificial general intelligence
par Timnit Gebru, Émile P. Torres le 14/04/2024 à 7:00
The stated goal of many organizations in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), an imagined system with more intelligence than anything we have ever seen. Without seriously questioning whether such a system can and should be built, researchers […]

Participation versus scale: Tensions in the practical demands on participatory AI
par Meg Young, Upol Ehsan, Ranjit Singh, Emnet Tafesse, Michele Gilman, Christina Harrington, Jacob Metcalf le 14/04/2024 à 7:00
Ongoing calls from academic and civil society groups and regulatory demands for the central role of affected communities in development, evaluation, and deployment of artificial intelligence systems have created the conditions for an incipient “participatory turn” in AI. This turn […]

par Shazeda Ahmed, Klaudia Jaźwińska, Archana Ahlawat, Amy Winecoff, Mona Wang le 14/04/2024 à 7:00
The emerging field of “AI safety” has attracted public attention and large infusions of capital to support its implied promise: the ability to deploy advanced artificial intelligence (AI) while reducing its gravest risks. Ideas from effective altruism, longtermism, and the study of […]
