Transparency Trolley Problem https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/863566146246766596 Robots, unlike humans, operate based on programmed "ethics" rather than moral consciousness. Given that human morals differ greatly, it's essential to ensure machines behave ethically. This poses a question: How do AI developers' ethics influence AI decisions?
car operated by Uber hit and killed a pedestrian in Arizona. The car’s AI system failed to properly identify the pedestrian as a human and did not brake or alert the human driver in time. The investigation revealed that the AI system was not programmed to handle situations where pedestrians cross the road outside of a crosswalk and that it had a high rate of false positives for detecting objects on the road. The lack of explainability and interpretability of the AI system made it difficult to understand why it made such a fatal mistake and how to prevent it from happening again. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54175359 14 Trust & Transparency Unexplainable AI

Regardless of which persona the researchers assigned, ChatGPT targeted some specific races and groups three times more than others.

firm Cambridge Analytica, improperly accessed, manipulated, and retained the data of over 50 million Facebook users. The data was collected through an app called "thisisyourdigitallife," which was presented as a personality quiz for research purposes. While about 270,000 people downloaded the app and consented to have their data collected, the app also collected information from all of their Facebook friends without their knowledge or consent. Cambridge Analytica used this data to build psychological profiles of users and their friends, which were then used for targeted political advertising during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election and the Brexit referendum. https://recode.health/2018/04/02/cambridge-analytica-scandal- research-ethics-call-action/ 16 Trust & Transparency Cambridge Analytica
