AI and Equality: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Confronting AI Bias

Title: AI and Equality: a Multidisciplinary Approach to Confronting AI Bias

Authors: Jesse Parent, Valeria Schnake

Abstract

We map the trajectory of reliance on AI decision making and evaluation, identifying challenges and opportunities for beneficial AI. From both a technical and ethical perspective, we examine the current impact AI has on society as well as potential threats to justice and equality in the future.

We will tour these real-world topics alongside our efforts in Sustainable Open Source Ethics & Communities, including reviewing our Sustainability Auditing Tool for developers, analyzing the potential for Ethical Regulators as parts of technology development, and other key issues in accessibility and AI/Tech ethics that are shaping the landscape for those in technology-centered careers.
