Tutorial Description
Tutorial Description
People and society have grown increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI has the potential to drive us towards a future in which all of humanity flourishes. It also comes with substantial risks of oppression and unfairness. Technologists and AI researchers have a responsibility to develop AI systems that satisfy fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethical requirements. They have responded with great effort to design more responsible AI algorithms. However, existing technical solutions are often narrow in scope and have been primarily directed towards decision-making algorithms for scoring or classification tasks, with an emphasis on fairness, discrimination, and unwanted bias. This tutorial seeks to provide a holistic understanding of socially responsible AI (SRAI), a novel systematic framework that encompasses the foundations and theories of responsible AI (e.g., fairness, privacy, and interpretability), and the three human-centered actions aimed to Protect, Inform users, and Prevent potential harms of AI systems. We use emerging data mining tasks with social impact to illustrate each action. We conclude with open problems and key challenges.
More details can be found in the tutorial proposal.
