Ringkasan

TLDRThe discussion outlines the significant influence AI will have across all fields, emphasizing its potential to benefit sectors like education, healthcare, and technology, while also highlighting the crucial risks and biases it can present. The dominant technology fueling AI applications is machine learning, which is greatly dependent on the data provided, often reflecting undesired biases. To mitigate these issues, the importance of integrating diverse perspectives, particularly from marginalized communities, is stressed. Ensuring broader participation in AI development across different demographics is essential for achieving fair and beneficial AI applications. The democratization of AI technology, so it is universally accessible, could potentially enhance its benefits in everyday lives. Ultimately, the talk underscores the critical need for diverse influencing voices and the ethical considerations in AI to avoid harming the underprivileged and to strive for societal improvement.

    AI is expected to influence various fields and can significantly benefit society, including in education, healthcare, and science. However, it also poses risks, especially concerning biases embedded in machine learning models. These biases can perpetuate societal inequalities, particularly affecting marginalized groups. While AI has the potential for widespread democratization due to accessible technology like smartphones, there is a need to include diverse perspectives to ensure equitable AI development. Involving more women and people of color could help address which problems are prioritized and how they are approached.

  • How can AI benefit society?

    AI can be used in education for equalization, in healthcare for drug development, and in science for creating new technologies.

  • What are some risks associated with AI?

    AI can perpetuate biases found in real-world data, leading to racial or other societal biases being amplified.

  • What role does machine learning play in AI?

    Machine learning, a dominant AI technology, depends on the data fed to it, which can carry unintended biases.

  • Why is diversity important in AI development?

    Diverse perspectives help address biases and focus on problems that matter to different communities.

  • How can AI be made more accessible?

    By democratizing technology, AI can be integrated into devices like smartphones, benefiting more people.

  • What is a key challenge in AI application?

    Ensuring marginalized voices help guide AI applications to minimize harm.

  • How can AI impact marginalized groups?

    AI could harm those already underprivileged if their needs aren’t considered in AI deployment.

  • What is needed for safer AI development?

    Inclusion of perspectives from the most vulnerable to prevent harm and ensure fairness.

  • How can society influence AI use?

    By giving a greater voice to those impacted by AI to shape its applications positively.

  • What should be considered when approaching AI problems?

    AI initiatives should strive to change the world positively, considering diverse inputs and potential impacts.

    No matter what field you end up going into,
  • 00:00:03
    it's quite likely that AI is going to  have some impact on what you're doing.
  • 00:00:07
    The potential for AI to help society is enormous!
  • 00:00:09
    It's something that is influencing a lot of
  • 00:00:12
    very important decisions about  real humans and their lives.
  • 00:00:15
    It could be used in education, to be more of an  equalizer between people. It could be used in
  • 00:00:20
    healthcare to develop new drugs. It could be  used in science to develop new technologies.
  • 00:00:25
    Like any technology its application  will depend on how it is utilized.
  • 00:00:30
    At the same time, we need to think about  the risks that are associated with doing
  • 00:00:34
    that. The consequences are huge! The kind  of artificial intelligence technology
  • 00:00:46
    that really dominates the applications  we're seeing today is machine learning.
  • 00:00:51
    Machine learning depends entirely  on the information that you feed it.
  • 00:00:55
    The problem is that with real world data, there's  often information in there that you didn't intend
  • 00:01:02
    to be in there, but is captured because of  the bias in the data collection process.
  • 00:01:07
    So if you're building an AI to  determine who gets a home loan,
  • 00:01:10
    or who should be charged with  a crime, it could definitely
  • 00:01:14
    bubble up the racial biases that humans  and our current society already does.
  • 00:01:23
    A lot of what it means to build less harmful  AI is really systems that are including the
  • 00:01:30
    perspectives of those that are most vulnerable  or most marginalized, most likely to be hurt
  • 00:01:34
    by the deployment of that system. In many  ways I've worried that the people who are
  • 00:01:39
    particularly vulnerable to AI are the people who  are already underprivileged in many respects.
  • 00:01:49
    Most people in the world  just have AI applied to them,
  • 00:01:52
    rather than playing an active role  in guiding what AI gets applied to.
  • 00:01:58
    Everybody you know has a computer in their pocket.  That's young people, old people, rich people,
  • 00:02:05
    poor people. To me, that's actually quite exciting  from a democratization of technology perspective.
  • 00:02:13
    It means that AI, powerful as it is,
  • 00:02:16
    could theoretically be in everybody's  pockets, benefiting everybody. We should
  • 00:02:22
    strive to make sure that things that provide  value for society can be reached to anybody.
  • 00:02:31
    How do we give a greater voice to the  people who are being impacted by AI,
  • 00:02:36
    to in turn be able to turn around  and impact how AI is used for them?
  • 00:02:43
    Every time when you're looking at a new problem,  you have an opportunity to change the world.
  • 00:02:47
    Sometimes we succeed, sometimes  we don't, but we always try.
  • 00:02:53
    It's really critically important that we have  as many diverse perspectives as possible,
  • 00:02:58
    influencing the development of AI.
  • 00:03:00
    We need the participation of  more women, more people of color,
  • 00:03:04
    to provide a different perspective and a different  lens on which problems matter and how we should
  • 00:03:08
    approach these problems.
