This book is ideal for readers interested in AI ethics, social justice advocates, technology professionals, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand and challenge bias in emerging technologies. It is particularly relevant for those concerned with the societal impacts of artificial intelligence and committed to promoting equitable technological advancement.

Artificial Intelligence was meant to be the great social equalizer that helps promote fairness by removing human bias from the equation, but is this true? Given that the policing and judicial systems can display human bias, this book explores how the technology they use can also reflect these prejudices.

Description

Artificial Intelligence was meant to be the great social equaliser that helps promote fairness by removing human bias from the equation, but is this true? Given that the policing and judicial systems can display human bias, this book explores how the technology they use can also reflect these prejudices.

From healthcare services to social scoring in exams, to applying for and getting loans, AI outcomes often restrict those most in need of these services. Through personal stories from an esteemed Black Data Scientist and AI expert, Hidden in White Sight attempts to demystify the algorithmic black box.

AI pervades all aspects of modern society and affects everyone within it, yet its internal biases are rarely confronted. Hidden in White Sight advises readers on what they can do to fight against it, including the introduction of a proposed AI Bill of Rights, whilst also providing specific recommendations for AI developers and technologists.
