Diverse perspectives on bias in AI

Abstract

In the quest for always wanting to find better and faster ways of doing things, AI has come to be an integral part of our daily lives. There is hardly any sphere of life that is not being touched upon by AI. Given that AI is being used in a range of industries and functions from agriculture, education, music, fashion, healthcare, manufacturing, law enforcement, and even raging wars, to name a few; and impacts people of all age groups and from all walks of life, this article attempts at understanding the ethical perspectives of AI . Regardless of the function and the industry, the discussion below reminds us that since we humans are creating AI, our perspectives and biases are reflected in the tools we create. The article, which documents a panel discussion held with various experts from different domains as listed below, cautions developers to be aware of their inherent biases and ask tough questions while creating solutions that run on AI. As users and consumers of AI, we must engage in critical thinking while adopting a new AI-based solution. We provide the details from the panel discussion organized by Dr. Gaurav Bansal and Dr. Stacie Christian, both from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, on Jan 17, 2022. Dr. Vic Matta led the panel discussion transcription with input from all panelists.
