MohammadAlothmanonAddressingAI Disparities:APathTowardEquity I,MohammadAlothman, am anadvocateforthedevelopment of ethicalAI andfounderofAITechSolutions,whobelievesthatAI shouldbeatool ofinclusivityandfairness.ButAI disparities–the biasesassociatedwithgender,race,anddiversity–emphasizethatit is systemic changethatneedstobeimplemented. Thiskindof transformationalAI doesnotshyawayfromanybiasthat comesthroughthe datalearnedor designedbythepeople designing it.Inthispaper,weconsidertheculturalandsocialaspectsrelatingto disparitiessurrounding AIandroutesinwhichitmaybeleveledup.In AITechSolutions,wefindAIworkinggreatfor everyoneinthefuture. • ScopeofAIDisparities • AIdisparitiesarisebecausethealgorithmsinplacetendtorepeatandcompoundsocietal biases.Quiteoften,it arisesfromafailureinproper representationandoversightthrough poor underrepresentation. • GenderBiasinAI • ImbalancedtrainingdataleadsAIsystemsoftendisplaygenderbias. • LanguageModelStereotypes:MostAIlanguagemodelscarrystereotypesaboutwhois supposed tobetheleader(theman)andwhoismeanttotakecare(thewoman). • JobRecommendations: Algorithms providemale-skewedjobs tomenandfemale- skewedjobstowomen. • RacialBiasinAI • AI systems arealsofoundtoperpetuateracialbias: • FaceRecognitionErrors:Studiessuggestahighererrorratefordarkerskin. • PolicingandSurveillance:Predictivepolicingtechnologyislikelytofocuson the minorities. • LackofDiversity
Lackof diversityintheteamsdevelopingAIaggravates theproblem. Homogenousteamscanbeblindtotheviewsof underrepresentedgroupsand therefore represent blindspotstoAIsystems. CulturalandSocialDimensionsofAIBiases AIinequalitiesaredeep-seatedandsignificantlyimpactculturaland socialaspects.AI influenceseverything inourlives-fromhealthcareandeducationtoworkandgovernance.
