This is a hard question. Maybe the bigger question is "how do we integrate ethics in a way that it will not slow down innovation?"
My approach is that of a designer: make sure that the data is representative of the audience that you're building for, and then that this data is gathered with the owners consent.
Interesting answers in this thread so far btw!

@gracebates Absolutely! Setting boundaries and guidelines is key to preventing AI misuse. Safeguarding against unacceptable uses is crucial for ethical deployment. Thanks for highlighting this essential step!
It's important to be considerate of ethics when deploying AI, but we should also not tread too carefully and stifle innovation. It's probably more important to pursue technological advancement over making sure everyone is pleased with the "ethics" or "morality" of a model's output...
Call me e/acc all you want, but it's how I feel!
@kali_curated That is a viewpoint Kali, but take a look at how the invisible hand (society) is dealing with social media giants right now. A lot of law suits, the EU bringing in sweeping regulations, several American States updating privacy laws and 30+ States suing social media giants. To assume this won't happen in the AI world is stakeholder bias at it's best and...well, worst. Tech companies so often underestimate the power of culture. There are more efficient ways to innovate and move quickly.

Collaboration between technologists, ethicists, policymakers, and society is central to our ethical considerations in AI. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a holistic perspective.
@leon_fisher Indeed Leon. That should also include anthropologists (ok, as I am one, I am biased here!), philosophers and sociologists. The human-sciences are key for AI to evolve.

How will your define the word ethics?

@geeta_thakuryy It refers to the principles governing the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. It involves considerations of fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, and the societal impact of AI, aiming to ensure that AI systems are designed and used in an ethical, trustworthy, and beneficial manner.
Great question! A good reference point for AI is to look at social media giants. Around the world they are being sued. Why? Because they knew the harms and tried to bury them. But cultures always, and have, for thousands of years, pushed back when a technology harms them. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes. Smart AI companies will see this and move to ensure privacy, gender and racial biases are dealt with. This doesn't stifle innovation at all. When guidelines are understood, innovations are better and faster.

@giles_crouch Certainly! Social media giants facing lawsuits globally due to concealed harms serve as a cautionary tale for AI. History shows cultures resist harmful technologies. Innovative AI companies should address privacy, gender, and racial biases to innovate better and faster with clear guidelines
@umar_saleem Thanks Umar. Cultures tend to resist technologies they initially fear as either disrupting norms, traditions and social structures when they perceive a threat. Otherwise they tend to accept them, find out the bad stuff through use, then change the technology to adapt to their sociocultural system. Keeping in mind cultures are very mutable...sorry, technology anthropologist, so I live that world. :-)

As we go from a possible AGI in the future to an ASI model it is imperative that we create a logical concept of what and ASI we want to be able tolerate as humans. Just imagine something more super human..we wouldn’t be on the top of the food chain anymore. 🤟🏽😃😂🔥 - not an apocalypse believer at all 😂

@roger_mendoza1 Certainly! Defining our acceptable boundaries for ASI development is crucial as it surpasses human capabilities, prompting us to reconsider our position without predicting an apocalypse! 😄👍🔥
@umar_saleem it will be like a Vanilla Sky movie. 😳
As AI technology continues to advance, it becomes increasingly important to address the ethical considerations surrounding its development and deployment. In your opinion, what specific safeguards do you think should be in place to ensure responsible use of AI? Additionally, are there any existing frameworks or guidelines that you believe could be a valuable resource for organizations working in this field? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

@dmytrosem As AI progresses, addressing its ethical implications is vital
Too vast a topic to cover in a single comment. What I will say is that ethics and governance need to be baked in, with checking agents doing exactly that. I’ve written two frameworks that can be applied to the development of AGI, being the AAS & Conflict Resolution Frameworks. Just perform a Google search for: Advancing AGI for Complex Systems, and you’ll be able to grab the papers from my LinkedIn article if you so desire. Enjoy!
