We promote responsible release and accountability for generative AI systems to ensure equitable co-creation and access.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and artificial generative intelligence (AGI) can undoubtedly bring remarkable advancements, but they also carry ethical risks, particularly for vulnerable groups and underrepresented regions. One of the primary concerns is the potential for bias and discrimination embedded within AI systems. These systems learn from vast amounts of data, including historical data that may reflect societal biases and prejudices. Consequently, when deployed in critical areas like healthcare, criminal justice, or financial services, AI can perpetuate and amplify existing inequalities, adversely affecting marginalized communities.
Starting August, we will release a biweekly newsletter, rounding up what's happening in tech and Internet in Global South, why it matters and what you or we can do about it. We'll post about opportunities to collaborate or participate in policy consultations. If you're interested, sign up to join the waitlist.
