Expectations of artificial intelligence and the performativity of ethics: Implications for communication governance

Abstract: This article draws on the sociology of expectations to examine the construction of expectations of ‘ethical AI’ and considers the implications of these expectations for communication governance. We first analyse a range of public documents to identify the key actors, mechanisms and issues which structure societal expectations around artificial intelligence (AI) and an emerging discourse on ethics. We then explore expectations of AI and ethics through a survey of members of the public. Finally, we discuss the i… Show more

“…With the recent boom in artificial intelligence (AI), tech companies have sparked the proliferation of ethical principles and guidelines. These emerging discourses surrounding 'ethical AI', 'unbiased algorithms' or 'privacy-preserving' data collection are, according to several analyses, performative in nature, as they fail to acknowledge the limitations of contemporary AI and the requirement to comply with strict accountability frameworks (Kerr, Barry and Kelleher, 2020). Especially high profile initiatives, such as Facebook's 2019 'Supreme Court' for content moderation (Ingram, 2020), have been criticised as examples of ethical washing mainly aimed at avoiding state regulation (Ochigame, 2019).…”

“…Lisäksi nykyteknologioiden sulkeutunut luonne tekee vaikeaksi tunnistaa sen, mitkä käyttämämme sovellukset hyödyntävät tekoälyä ja mitkä eivät (Long ja Magerko 2020, 598). Ihmiset nimeävätkin itselleen tutuimmiksi pääosin sellaisia tekoälysovelluksia (itseohjautuvat autot, autonomiset robotit), joista heillä ei ole ensikäden kokemuksia (Kerr, Barry ja Kelleher 2020). Täten on perusteltua väittää, että yleinen käsitys tekoälyn luonteesta ja mahdollisuuksista muodostuu huomattavissa määrin sen perusteella, millaisena tekoäly kuvataan julkisessa keskustelussa (ks.…”

“…2008) mukaan miehet toimivat naisia useammin asiantuntijoina mediassa ja tämä pätee myös Suomeen: Niemen ja Pitkäsen (2017, 360) tutkimuksessa alle 30 prosenttia median käyttämistä asiantuntijoista oli naisia. Aiemman tutkimuksen perusteella tekoälyasiantuntijoina mediassa esiintyvät niin ikään pääsääntöisesti miehet (Fast ja Horvitz 2016;Kerr, Barry ja Kelleher 2020;Piikkilä 2020).…”
