Joe McKendrick, Forbes; ‘The Algorithm Made Me Do It’: Artificial Intelligence Ethics Is Still On Shaky Ground
"While artificial intelligence is the
trend du jour across enterprises of all types, there’s still scant
attention being paid to its ethical ramifications. Perhaps it’s time for
people to step up and ask the hard questions. For enterprises, it’s
time to bring together — or recruit — people who can ask the hard
questions.
In one recent survey
by Genesys, 54% of employers questioned say they are not troubled that
AI could be used unethically by their companies as a whole or by
individual employees. “Employees appear more relaxed than their bosses,
with only 17% expressing concern about their companies,” the survey’s
authors add...
Sandler and his co-authors focus on the importance of their final point,
urging that organizations establish an AI ethics committee, comprised
of stakeholders from across the enterprise — technical, legal, ethical,
and organizational. This is still unexplored territory, they caution:
“There are not yet data and AI ethics committees with established
records of being effective and well-functioning, so there are no success
models to serve as case-studies or best practices for how to design and
implement them.”"
