AI Ethics & Policy90%
What did we find out today?
Is it possible for an algorithm to be moral? When you first look at them, algorithms look like math—rules for processing data. But the way computers work, the data they learn from, and the choices they make all make us think a lot about what is right and wrong.
You will learn in this video:
- Why algorithms are not good or bad in and of themselves
- How biased training data might lead to unjust results
- Example: recruiting algorithms that favor males because of biased resumes
- The part that developers, designers, and oversight play in ethical AI
- Why making algorithms fair is one of the biggest problems in IT today
To put it simply, algorithms aren't moral on their own; we decide if they act fairly.
