• Authors: Casey Clifton, Richard Blythman, Kartika Tulusan
• Abstract summary: Various groups are building open AI systems, investigating their risks, and discussing their ethics. In this paper, we demonstrate how blockchain technology can facilitate and formalize these efforts. We argue that decentralizing AI can help mitigate AI risks and ethical concerns, while also introducing new issues that should be considered in future work.

• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly benefit or harm humanity. At present, a few for-profit companies largely control the development and use of this technology, and therefore determine its outcomes. In an effort to diversify and democratize work on AI, various groups are building open AI systems, investigating their risks, and discussing their ethics. In this paper, we demonstrate how blockchain technology can facilitate and formalize these efforts. Concretely, we analyze multiple use-cases for blockchain in AI research and development, including decentralized governance, the creation of immutable audit trails, and access to more diverse and representative datasets. We argue that decentralizing AI can help mitigate AI risks and ethical concerns, while also introducing new issues that should be considered in future work.

• Managing extreme AI risks amid rapid progress [171.05448842016125]
  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.

  There are many emerging AI risks for humanity, such as autonomous weapons, automation-spurred job loss, socio-economic inequality, bias caused by data and algorithms, privacy violations and deepfakes. Social diversity, equity and inclusion are considered key success factors of AI to mitigate risks, create values and drive social justice. In our journey towards an AI-enabled sustainable future, we need to address AI ethics and governance as a priority.

• Building Bridges: Generative Artworks to Explore AI Ethics [56.058588908294446]
  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.
