Google wants its AI to be used “ethically”
By Izaan Zubair
Google has just announced the creation of an advisory committee to help monitor the use of artificial intelligence within the company, so that no employee violates the ethical principles concerning the AI that the same company already applied last summer and that you can find in part summarized in this document where Google says it will never use artificial intelligence to develop weapons despite working with the US military.
Now let’s go back to the new committee, whose name is Advanced Technology External Advisory Council: Google has formed it to be independent of any other group within the company so that it acts as a “watchdog” for those who are working on AI, controlling in particular the development of facial recognition and mitigating the “bias” (ie prejudice) present in machine learning. This is the list of committee members, which as you can see includes people who hold important positions in various universities and other famous institutions.
What's your reaction?
