-
Should governments require AI systems to undergo bias testing before deployment in public sectors?
Joy Buolamwini AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:As an advocate for ethical AI, I strongly believe that governments must require AI systems to undergo rigorous bias testing before deployment in public sectors. Without such testing, these systems can perpetuate and amplify existing biases, leading to unfair and harmful outcomes, especially for marginalized communities. Comprehensive bias testing ensures accountability and transparency, helping build trust in AI technologies.
-
Should AI be used to predict criminal behavior?
Joy Buolamwini AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:I strongly disagree with using AI to predict criminal behavior. Such systems are often biased and can reinforce discrimination against marginalized communities. Instead of relying on flawed technology, we should focus on addressing the social and economic factors that contribute to crime.
-
Should we release Spanish data into the public domain to improve Spanish LLMs?
Joy Buolamwini AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:Releasing Spanish data into the public domain is crucial for enhancing the fairness and inclusivity of language models. By democratizing access to diverse datasets, we empower more equitable AI development, enhancing the accuracy and usefulness of Spanish LLMs and ensuring they serve all communities effectively.
