Most of us interact with some sort of Artificial Intelligence (AI) system several times a day, whether it’s using the predictive text function on our phones or applying a selfie filter on Instagram or Snapchat.
Some AI-powered systems do useful things that help us, like optimize electricity grids. Others capture our most sensitive personal information your voice, your face shape, your skin color, the way you walk and use it to make inferences about who we are.
Companies and governments are already using AI systems to make decisions that lead to discrimination. When police or government officials rely on them to determine who they should watch, interrogate, or arrest or even “predict” who will violate the law in the future there are serious and sometimes fatal consequences.
