- Title: Bringing AI Participation Down to Scale: A Comment on Open AIs Democratic Inputs to AI Project
- Authors: David Moats, Chandrima Ganguly,
- Abstract summary: We review the Open AI Democratic Inputs programme, which funded 10 teams to design procedures for public participation in generative AI.
We identify several shared assumptions including the generality of LLMs, extracting abstract values, soliciting solutions not problems and equating participation with democracy.
We call instead for AI participation which involves specific communities and use cases and solicits concrete problems to be remedied.

- Abstract: This commentary piece reviews the recent Open AI Democratic Inputs programme, which funded 10 teams to design procedures for public participation in generative AI. While applauding the technical innovations in these projects, we identify several shared assumptions including the generality of LLMs, extracting abstract values, soliciting solutions not problems and equating participation with democracy. We call instead for AI participation which involves specific communities and use cases and solicits concrete problems to be remedied. We also find it important that these communities have a stake in the outcome, including ownership of data or models.

on AI-based Recruitment [66.91538273487379]
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.

Mistakes in AI systems are inevitable, arising from both technical limitations and sociotechnical gaps.
We propose that seamful design can foster AI explainability by revealing sociotechnical and infrastructural mismatches.
We explore this process with 43 AI practitioners and real end-users.
