Can AI be for Good in the Midst of Cyber Attacks and Privacy Violations?

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is affecting every aspect of our lives from healthcare to finance to driving to managing the home. Sophisticated machine learning techniques with a focus on deep learning are being applied successfully to detect cancer, to make the best choices for investments, to determine the most suitable routes for driving as well as to efficiently manage the electricity in our homes. We expect AI to have even more influence as advances are made with technology as well as in learning, planning, reasoning and explainable systems. While these advances will greatly advance humanity, organizations such as the United Nations have embarked on initiatives such as "AI for Good" and we can expect to see more emphasis on applying AI for the good of humanity especially in developing countries. However, the question that needs to be answered is Can AI be for Good when when the AI techniques can be attacked and the AI techniques themselves can cause privacy violations? This position paper will provide an overview of this topic with protecting children and children's rights as an example.
