17 Mar Responsible AI — the need for ethical guard rails (GS-3 Science and tech, The Hindu)

What is A.I.-

• • AI is a self, adaptive learning system.
  • Works on Deep learning and machine learning.
  • MACHINE LEARNING
    • Building block of AI
    • Machine learning algorithms analyze data features as inputs, and by the process of iterative improvement can produce linear and nonlinear predictive models.
    • One of the types of machine learning algorithms is artificial neural networks (ANNs).
  • Positive effects of AI
    •  AI has helped increase crop yields raised business productivity, improved access to credit and made cancer detection faster and more precise
    • AI may act as an enabler on 134 — or 79% — of all SDG targets.
    • AI can help in solving social problems but it may also act as hindernace.

• Issues:

• AI requires massive computational capacity, which means more power-hungry data centres — and a big carbon footprint

• Without clear policies on reskilling workers, the promise of new opportunities will in fact create serious new inequalities.

• AI facial recognition and surveillance technology discriminating against people of colour and minorities.

• • Privacy concerns:-
    • AI knows more about us than ourselves.
    • It can be misused.
• What is way forward
  • • Humane policies central to humanity.
    • Government, companies and the whole society should be seen as creators and recipients both.
    • AI is used in a manner that is
      • Trustworthy
      • human rights-based
      •  safe and sustainable
      • promotes peace.
    •  global, comprehensive standard-setting draft Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence to Member States for deliberation and adoption.
    • striving to strike the right balance between AI promotion and AI governance
