- Abstract: As the real-world impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems has been
steadily growing, so too have these systems come under increasing scrutiny. In
response, the study of AI fairness has rapidly developed into a rich field of
research with links to computer science, social science, law, and philosophy.
Many technical solutions for measuring and achieving AI fairness have been
proposed, yet their approach has been criticized in recent years for being
misleading, unrealistic and harmful.
In our paper, we survey these criticisms of AI fairness and identify key
limitations that are inherent to the prototypical paradigm of AI fairness. By
carefully outlining the extent to which technical solutions can realistically
help in achieving AI fairness, we aim to provide the background necessary to
form a nuanced opinion on developments in fair AI. This delineation also
provides research opportunities for non-AI solutions peripheral to AI systems
in supporting fair decision processes.

systems appropriate for regulation [41.94295877935867]
Recent AI regulation proposals adopt AI definitions affecting ICT techniques, approaches, and systems that are not AI.
We propose a framework to score how validated as appropriately-defined for regulation (VADER) an AI definition is.

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.

We examine trust in the context of AI-based systems to understand what it means for an AI system to be trustworthy.
We suggest a trust (resp. zero-trust) model for AI and suggest a set of properties that should be satisfied to ensure the trustworthiness of AI systems.

Perspective on AI Regulation [61.77881142275982]
This interdisciplinary position paper considers various concerns surrounding fairness and discrimination in AI, and discusses how AI regulations address them.
We first look at AI and fairness through the lenses of law, (AI) industry, sociotechnology, and (moral) philosophy, and present various perspectives.
We identify and propose the roles AI Regulation should take to make the endeavor of the AI Act a success in terms of AI fairness concerns.

AI is changing the way we work, live and solve challenges.
But concerns about fairness, transparency or privacy are also growing.
Ensuring responsible, ethical AI is more than designing systems whose result can be trusted.

Many current AI systems were found vulnerable to imperceptible attacks, biased against underrepresented groups, lacking in user privacy protection, etc.
In this review, we strive to provide AI practitioners a comprehensive guide towards building trustworthy AI systems.
To unify the current fragmented approaches towards trustworthy AI, we propose a systematic approach that considers the entire lifecycle of AI systems.

We focus on six of the most crucial dimensions in achieving trustworthy AI: (i) Safety & Robustness, (ii) Non-discrimination & Fairness, (iii) Explainability, (iv) Privacy, (v) Accountability & Auditability, and (vi) Environmental Well-Being.
For each dimension, we review the recent related technologies according to a taxonomy and summarize their applications in real-world systems.

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.
