Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are now all around us. How can we think about their development and use in a way that actually helps people thrive?
An article in The Conversation — an independent, nonprofit news website where academics help explain current issues — written by Dipesh Navsaria, Lori DiPrete Brown and Dean Soyeon Shim proposes several ideas from the field of human ecology that can inform a more ethical and human-centered approach to AI.
“Innovation can come from not just programmers but also ethicists, policymakers and AI users,” the authors say. “It can also come from experts who study implications for human behaviors and systems, with inclusion of historically marginalized people’s perspective, ideas and talents.”
The piece has also been republished in several other news outlets, including MSN and Yahoo! News.
