AI for Diversity

AI for Diversity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting many aspects of people’s lives across the globe from relatively mundane technology to more advanced digital systems that can make their own decisions. While AI has great potential it also holds great peril depending on how it is designed and used. AI for Diversity questions how AI technology can lead to inclusion or exclusion for diverse groups in society. The way data is selected trained used and embedded into societies can have unfortunate consequences unless we critically investigate the dangers of systems left unchecked and can lead to misogynistic homophobic racist ageist transphobic or ableist outcomes. This book encourages the reader to take a step back to see how AI is impacting diverse groups of people and how diversity-awareness strategies can impact AI.
