- Abstract: Approaches to fair and ethical AI have recently fell under the scrutiny of
the emerging, chiefly qualitative, field of critical data studies, placing
emphasis on the lack of sensitivity to context and complex social phenomena of
such interventions. We employ some of these lessons to introduce a tripartite
decision-making toolkit, informed by dilemmas encountered in the pursuit of
responsible AI/ML. These are: (a) the opportunity dilemma between the
availability of data shaping problem statements vs problem statements shaping
data; (b) the trade-off between scalability and contextualizability (too much
data versus too specific data); and (c) the epistemic positioning between the
pragmatic technical objectivism and the reflexive relativism in acknowledging
the social. This paper advocates for a situated reasoning and creative
engagement with the dilemmas surrounding responsible algorithmic/data-driven
systems, and going beyond the formulaic bias elimination and ethics
operationalization narratives found in the fair-AI literature.

inference [0.0]
This position paper presents a theoretical framework for enhancing explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) through emergent communication (EmCom)
We explore the novel integration of EmCom into AI systems, offering a paradigm shift from conventional associative relationships between inputs and outputs to a more nuanced, causal interpretation.
The paper discusses the theoretical underpinnings of this approach, its potential broad applications, and its alignment with the growing need for responsible and transparent AI systems.

"Responsible AI" emphasizes the critical nature of addressing biases within the development of a corporate culture.
This thesis is structured around three fundamental pillars: understanding bias, mitigating bias, and accounting for bias.
In line with open-source principles, we have released Bias On Demand and FairView as accessible Python packages.

There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach.
Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes.
We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.

We introduce a framework for understanding, modeling, and possibly solving issues of fairness in decision-making settings.
The main insight of our approach will be to link the quantification of the disparities present on the observed data with the underlying, and often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms.
Our effort culminates in the Fairness Map, which is the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between different criteria found in the literature.

We present Counterfactual Explanations as Interventions in Latent Space (CEILS), a methodology to generate counterfactual explanations.
