The Hindu Huddle: Can ethics keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI?

2 min read

The Hindu Huddle Event 

 A key session titled ‘AI for all? The dream of a democratised and ethical technology’ will host discussions on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics.

Facial Recognition and AI Ethics

  • Current AI capabilities include creating facial recognition software that can scrape billions of images from the Internet.
  • Ethical considerations currently prevent large AI tools from engaging in such activities.
  • The emergence of smaller, decentralised AIs poses a challenge to maintaining ethical standards.

AI Applications and Ethical Concerns

  • AI can be used in surveillance, deepfakes, and spreading disinformation, all of which have significant ethical implications.
  • AI can automate and embed bias, particularly in hiring processes, where bias might be subtly introduced by tweaking parameters.

Human and Machine Interaction

  • People prefer to know whether they are interacting with a human or a machine.
  • Companies might conceal AI involvement in designing homes or writing novels to align with consumer comfort levels.

Industry Standards and Ethics in AI

  • There is a push for industry standards to govern AI-generated works, like books produced in a single day.
  • The feasibility of developing ethical guidelines that keep pace with AI's evolution is questioned.

Ethics and Legal Implications

  • Ethics is seen as a part of morality outside government regulation, often lacking enforceability.
  • Legal regulation implies government involvement, which businesses may resist in favor of ethical self-regulation.
