About Technomoral Conversations: What the Majority World Can Teach Us about AI
Artificial Intelligence models ‘learn’ and reproduce biases as a result of their training data, which is largely drawn from websites based in the US and other Western countries, and is heavily skewed towards English language sources. At the same time, the work of training AI models and making them ‘safer’ for human consumption is outsourced to precarious and under-supported workers in developing countries. Tech companies in Silicon Valley and Western governments such as the EU currently dominate the global conversation on AI.
Yet there is much that the Majority World has to teach us about AI, and this perspective is too often marginalised in the discussion of what a future with AI ought to look like. In this Technomoral Conversations panel, we will hear from leading voices from the Majority World on what they have learned from and about AI, and the issues and visions they would like to see taken up more broadly as society grapples with the social and ethical implications of these emerging technologies.
