Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting many aspects of
people's lives across the globe, from relatively mundane technology to
more advanced digital systems that can make their own decisions. While
AI has great potential, it also holds great peril depending on how it is
designed and used.
AI for Diversity questions how AI technology can lead to inclusion or
exclusion for diverse groups in society. The way data is selected,
trained, used, and embedded into societies can have unfortunate
consequences unless we critically investigate the dangers of systems
left unchecked, and can lead to misogynistic, homophobic, racist,
ageist, transphobic, or ableist outcomes. This book encourages the
reader to take a step back to see how AI is impacting diverse groups of
people and how diversity-awareness strategies can impact AI.
