论文摘要
已经开发了许多工具包来支持道德AI的发展。但是,与所有工具一样,工具包在其设计中编码应该完成的工作以及如何进行的假设。在本文中,我们对27个AI伦理工具包进行了定性分析,以批判性地检查如何想象伦理的工作以及如何由这些工具包支持。具体来说,我们研究工具包在谈论道德问题时所依赖的话语,他们认为应该从事伦理的工作以及如何设想与道德有关的工作实践。在工具包中,我们确定了想象中的道德工作与工具包为完成这项工作的支持之间的不匹配。特别是,我们确定了如何在与道德工作有关的过程中涉及劳动,组织和机构权力动态的缺乏指导。我们使用这些遗漏为AI伦理工具包的研究人员和设计师绘制未来的工作。
Numerous toolkits have been developed to support ethical AI development. However, toolkits, like all tools, encode assumptions in their design about what work should be done and how. In this paper, we conduct a qualitative analysis of 27 AI ethics toolkits to critically examine how the work of ethics is imagined and how it is supported by these toolkits. Specifically, we examine the discourses toolkits rely on when talking about ethical issues, who they imagine should do the work of ethics, and how they envision the work practices involved in addressing ethics. Among the toolkits, we identify a mismatch between the imagined work of ethics and the support the toolkits provide for doing that work. In particular, we identify a lack of guidance around how to navigate labor, organizational, and institutional power dynamics as they relate to performing ethical work. We use these omissions to chart future work for researchers and designers of AI ethics toolkits.
