Series: AI for Everything

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.

Reviews for AI for Diversity

"""The book is written in a really approachable way for non-specialists and will engage introductory and interdisciplinary audiences. The sections on gender and queering AI are particularly strong, and the book is a highly worthy and important contribution for those chapters alone."" --Ashley Shew, Associate Professor, Virginia Tech"
