UW Professor Kaiping Chen explained last week that AI performs tasks that mimic human intelligence in order to help humans make decisions. There are visible applications, like Alexa or Siri; there are less visible applications such as a robot that can perform surgery; and there are invisible applications that can determine who gets medical care or whether a prisoner is released on bail or kept in jail. There are also deep fakes on the Internet intended to fool. To provide equity, decisions concerning applications should be made by a collective stewardship of the communities that may be affected, including the under-served and the under-resourced.
