Dr Emre Kazim and Mr Adriano Koshiyama (UCL, UK), ‘Are the algorithms taking over?! AI ethics & language'.
Abstract
AI ethics is a field that has emerged as a response to the growing concern regarding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). Examples of harm that have been observed are bias in systems such as recruitment and criminal justice sentencing (where particular demographics are prejudiced against i.e. minorities are sent to jail for longer), voter manipulation (ex. concerns about foreign intervention in elections) and misdiagnosis of cancer patients. With these a growing consciousness has developed within wider society and developers of these technologies that something needs to be done. In this talk Emre and Adriano will introduce AI ethics by making reference to language themes (such as bias in translation and AI text generation).
