Kasia Borowska, Forbes; The AI Arms Race Means We Need AI Ethics
"In an AI world, the currency is data. Consumers and citizens trade data
for convenience and cheaper services. The likes of Facebook, Google,
Amazon, Netflix and others process this data to make decisions that
influence likes, the adverts we see, purchasing decisions or even who we
vote for. There are questions to ask on the implications of everything
we access, view or read being controlled by a few global elite. There
are also major implications if small companies or emerging markets are
unable to compete from being priced out of the data pool. This is why
access to AI is so important: not only does it enable more positives
from AI to come to the fore, but it also helps to prevent monopolies
forming. Despite industry-led efforts, there are no internationally
agreed ethical rules to regulate the AI market."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
