• Title: Artificial Tikkun Olam: AI Can Be Our Best Friend in Building an Open Human-Computer Society
• Authors: Simon Kasif
• Abstract summary: We review a long-standing wisdom that a widespread practical deployment of any technology may produce adverse side effects misusing the knowhow. We describe some of the common and AI specific risks in health industries and other sectors. We propose a simple intelligent system quotient that may correspond to their adverse societal impact.

• Abstract: Technological advances of virtually every kind pose risks to society including fairness and bias. We review a long-standing wisdom that a widespread practical deployment of any technology may produce adverse side effects misusing the knowhow. This includes AI but AI systems are not solely responsible for societal risks. We describe some of the common and AI specific risks in health industries and other sectors and propose both broad and specific solutions. Each technology requires very specialized and informed tracking, monitoring and creative solutions. We postulate that AI systems are uniquely poised to produce conceptual and methodological solutions to both fairness and bias in automated decision-making systems. We propose a simple intelligent system quotient that may correspond to their adverse societal impact and outline a multi-tier architecture for producing solutions of increasing complexity to these risks. We also propose that universities may consider forming interdisciplinary Study of Future Technology Centers to investigate and predict the fuller range of risks posed by technology and seek both common and AI specific solutions using computational, technical, conceptual and ethical analysis

• Risks and Opportunities of Open-Source Generative AI [64.86989162783648]
  Applications of Generative AI (Gen AI) are expected to revolutionize a number of different areas, ranging from science & medicine to education. The potential for these seismic changes has triggered a lively debate about the potential risks of the technology, and resulted in calls for tighter regulation. This regulation is likely to put at risk the budding field of open-source generative AI.

  We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems. There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them. Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.

  We take a closer look at AI fairness and analyze how lack of AI fairness can lead to deepening of biases over time. We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
