ALT Responsible AI: Building Tools and Frameworks for Transparent and Ethical AI Implementations Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in libraries and archives as a powerful tool for enhancing metadata, improving search and discovery, recommending resources, powering library chatbots, and more. However, AI systems may incorporate surveillance technologies that threaten user privacy, and AI often reflects the biases of our society due to biased training data—for example, facial recognition technology is worse at recognizing the faces of people of color if training data is predominantly comprised of white faces. This talk discusses the early activities of the IMLS-funded Responsible AI project, which examines this tension between innovating library services and protecting library communities. The Responsible AI team will present key takeaways from an environmental scan of AI projects in libraries and archives, and our plans for an AI Harms Analysis tool that can ground AI software develo

Every time I get *yet another* rejection of my work analyzing existing models/datasets (because it "lacks novelty"), I worry that our obsession with novelty in ML will make us repeat the same mistakes, without ever understanding why.

We've officially entered the "arms race" era of generative AI adoption in higher education.
21 Aug 2023
University of Michigan will be the first major university to offer a custom AI platform for its entire community. Just in time for the start of the fall semester, ITS is releasing a suite of custom GenAI tools unlike anything currently offered in higher education, providing our users with AI tools that firmly emphasize the importance of equity, accessibility, and privacy. Thanks to VP Ravi Pendse and team for their leadership.

This is so important. When I talk about dismantling vocational awe in our lives/workplace and I say “put yourself first” I don’t mean doing stuff like Liz says here. Taking care of yourself at the expense of others is never a good look. And I will never advocate for that.

People say, "I can't take care of other people unless I take care of myself first." And they'll use that sentence to justify vacationing in Hawai'i, or dining indoors during an airborne plague.

I've been doing news round-ups on AI ethics & policy, for TikTok/Instagram. Towards this end I've started a more organized spreadsheet so it's easier for folks to dig in and read more if they like! (And feel free to suggest other articles!) #aiethicsnews
