Bilawal Sadu:本期节目讨论了AI系统中普遍存在的偏见问题,例如Google Gemini生成的图像中存在历史不准确性和种族歧视等问题。这些问题不仅会造成历史误读和刻板印象的延续,还会影响到招聘、贷款、司法等重要领域,甚至危及生命。 Bilawal Sadu还探讨了解决AI偏见问题的方案,包括提高AI模型的细致程度,使其适应不同地区和文化背景,以及提高用户对AI工具的使用能力,批判性地看待AI的输出结果,并根据需要改进提示词。他认为,科技公司应该提高透明度,说明他们如何解决AI系统中的偏差问题,同时用户也需要培养AI素养,才能更好地识别和解决AI偏差问题。 Patrick Lin:AI伦理学是一个复杂且广泛的领域,它不仅关乎AI本身是否具有道德主体性,还关乎AI的设计、开发者和用户的伦理。AI作为一种决策引擎,可以替代人类决策者,因此会涉及到无数的伦理问题。 Patrick Lin指出,AI偏差是一个难题,因为人类本身就容易产生刻板印象,而AI偏差的定义也缺乏细致性,这会导致误判。他认为,仅仅依靠更多AI来解决AI偏差问题是不可行的,因为AI本身并不知道什么是对错。解决AI偏差问题需要对偏差有更深入、更细致的理解,以及社会层面的努力,而不仅仅是技术手段。他认为,针对不同文化背景开发AI模型是合理的,因为不存在普遍适用的价值观和伦理理论。

Shownotes Transcript

Technology is supposed to make our lives better – but who gets to decide how that improvement unfolds, and what values it upholds? Tech ethicist Patrick Lin and Bilawal dig into the hidden -- and not so hidden -- biases in AI. From historically inaccurate images to life-and-death decisions in hospitals, human biases reveal how AI mirrors our own flaws…But can we fix bias? Lin argues that technology alone won't suffice...
