AI总结:
本研究通过对100名AI从业者的调查,分析了他们对AI伦理的认知程度与融入伦理时面临的三类挑战,明确了后续研究方向并提出相关建议。
摘要:
近年来,AI伦理已成为公众和专家讨论中颇具争议的话题。但构建AI的人群——AI从业者——对AI伦理的理解,以及在他们开发的AI系统中融入伦理所面临的挑战,他们有何看法?了解AI从业者对AI伦理的观点十分重要,因为他们是最贴近AI系统的群体,能够推动变革与改进。我们开展了一项调查,旨在了解AI从业者对AI伦理的认知,以及他们在融入伦理过程中遇到的挑战。基于100名AI从业者的反馈,研究结果显示,大多数AI从业者对AI伦理概念有合理的熟悉度,这主要得益于工作场所的规章制度与政策。隐私保护与安全是他们中大多数人都知晓的伦理原则。正规教育/培训被认为在帮助从业者做好融入AI伦理的准备方面有一定作用。AI从业者在开发符合伦理的AI系统时面临的挑战包括:(i)一般性挑战、(ii)技术相关挑战以及(iii)人员相关挑战。我们还明确了需要进一步研究的领域,并提出了帮助AI从业者和企业将伦理融入AI开发的建议。
英文摘要:
Ethics in AI has become a debated topic of public and expert discourse in recent years. But what do people who build AI - AI practitioners - have to say about their understanding of AI ethics and the challenges associated with incorporating it in the AI-based systems they develop? Understanding AI practitioners' views on AI ethics is important as they are the ones closest to the AI systems and can bring about changes and improvements. We conducted a survey aimed at understanding AI practitioners' awareness of AI ethics and their challenges in incorporating ethics. Based on 100 AI practitioners' responses, our findings indicate that majority of AI practitioners had a reasonable familiarity with the concept of AI ethics, primarily due to workplace rules and policies. Privacy protection and security was the ethical principle that majority of them were aware of. Formal education/training was considered somewhat helpful in preparing practitioners to incorporate AI ethics. The challenges that AI practitioners faced in the development of ethical AI-based systems included (i) general challenges, (ii) technology-related challenges and (iii) human-related challenges. We also identified areas needing further investigation and provided recommendations to assist AI practitioners and companies in incorporating ethics into AI development.
