The potential for generative AI is exciting, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We must remain vigilant and be wary of any technology that could have negative ramifications in the long-term. #TrustworthyAI #SafeguardingTheIlluminati #CautiousOptimism #LK99 #GenerativeAI http://www.techmeme.com/230813/p11#a230813p11

#AI #TrustworthyAI #ResponsibleAI #AIEthics #Explainability #ExplainableAI: "Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) is based on seven technical requirements sustained over three main pillars that should be met throughout the system’s entire life cycle: it should be (1) lawful, (2) ethical, and (3) robust, both from a technical and a social perspective. However, attaining truly trustworthy AI concerns a wider vision that comprises the trustworthiness of all processes and actors that are part of the system’s life cycle, and considers previous aspects from different lenses. A more holistic vision contemplates four essential axes: the global principles for ethical use and development of AI-based systems, a philosophical take on AI ethics, a risk-based approach to AI regulation, and the mentioned pillars and requirements. The seven requirements (human agency and oversight; robustness and safety; privacy and data governance; transparency; diversity, non-discrimination and fairness; societal and environmental wellbeing; and accountability) are analyzed from a triple perspective: What each requirement for trustworthy AI is, Why it is needed, and How each requirement can be implemented in practice. On the other hand, a practical approach to implement trustworthy AI systems allows defining the concept of responsibility of AI-based systems facing the law, through a given auditing process. Therefore, a responsible AI system is the resulting notion we introduce in this work, and a concept of utmost necessity that can be realized through auditing processes, subject to the challenges posed by the use of regulatory sandboxes. Our multidisciplinary vision of trustworthy AI culminates in a debate on the diverging views published lately about the future of AI. Our reflections in this matter conclude that regulation is a key for reaching a consensus among these views, and that trustworthy and responsible AI systems will be crucial.."

Nach drei Monaten #Digitalpolitik-Projekten zu #TrustworthyAI und Digitalisierung der #Landwirtschaft zusätzlich zu all den "regulären" Aufhaben habe ich diese Woche #Pause.

Konkret bedeutet das: Berge, Rotwein und kein Internet in #südtirol. Wohlsein!

#AI #AIEthics #TrustworthyAI: "Imo Udom: When we think about what trustworthy AI means, we want to shift the arc away from purely using this technology to profit organizations and towards more responsible and ethical best practices, like transparency, like accountability coming into the fabric of the tech. So when we think about ChatGPT or great systems like this, one of the terms we hear often coming out of society now is “hallucination,” when it comes to these large language models. When it’s applied to this space, really we’re saying that some of these tools make things up. If you’re an individual using ChatGPT for fun, this can be humorous; to some people it might be annoying. But on the other hand, as a journalist who might be using generative AI aids to research or write a story, or if a doctor were using generative, AI-powered, decision-making tools, you need to be able to validate that the sources behind these answers aren’t hallucinations or aren’t false. Better yet, wouldn’t it be great if you knew that these tools have been developed to make sure they’re only using specific data and information that really is built for that domain or area?"

Here's an article I wrote after ruminating on this for the past few weeks, including with the help of some readers here (thank you!). Among the many thorny issues raised by LLMs, this would be low-hanging fruit. What do you think? Can the fediverse hive mind help me bring this proposal to the attention of the people who can make it happen? #AI #LLMs #TrustworthyAI #EthicalAI

As AI products become more popular, I am excited but simultaneously worried about issues such as misinformation, biases, deep fakes, and copyright issues. I m happy to see Mozilla investing $30 million to create a new startup called Mozilla.ai, which aims to develop an independent, open-source, trustworthy AI ecosystem. The announcement is light on detail, but I find it exciting!

#Mozilla #AI #TrustworthyAI #ResponsibleTech

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/introducing-mozilla-ai-investing-in-trustworthy-ai/

#AI #Ethics #TrustworthyAI #Mozilla #OpenSource: "On the eve of its 25th anniversary, Mozilla, the not-for-profit behind the Firefox browser, is launching an AI-focused startup.

Called Mozilla.ai, the newly forged company’s mission isn’t to build just any AI — its mission is to build AI that’s open source and “trustworthy,” according to Mark Surman, the executive president of Mozilla and the head of Mozilla.ai.

“Working on trustworthy AI for almost five years, I’ve constantly felt a mix of excitement and anxiety,” he told TechCrunch in an email interview. “The last month or two of rapid-fire big tech AI announcements has been no different. Really exciting new tech is emerging — new tools that have immediately sparked artists, founders…all kinds of people to do new things. The anxiety comes when you realize almost no one is looking at the guardrails.”"

https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/22/mozilla-launches-a-new-startup-focused-on-trustworthy-ai/

Having worked in AI ethics and tech justice for over 15 years, something that echoes throughout the years consistently is people believing it’s either AI or us.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Whenever there is a major development, like with ChatGPT, people tend to go into a fear spiral.

We have been witnessing coverage about how AI lies, gives false sources, incorrect predictions, and is biased.

But we forget that humans do that too. Every single day.

We are AI’s creators and it’s casualties.

As someone who works in AI and Tech justice, I want us to be mindful of the incredible power available to us, and also, the immense danger of weaponization and carelessness in that power.

When AI models are created, trained, and applied with care, we have many avenues and opportunities available to us that can ensure empowering, not overpowering, outcomes.
