Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Language Models

Concerns When Using AI Research Tools

Ethical Concerns

  1. Bias and Fairness: algorithmic bias, AI models can perpetuate or exacerbate biases present in training data, leading to unfair treatment of certain groups.

  2. Misinformation: deepfakes and fake news

  3. Job Displacement: employment impact

  4. Transparency: understanding AI decisions, the "black box" nature of many AI systems makes it difficult to understand how decisions are made

  5. Consent: using personal data, ethical concerns arise over whether individuals have given informed consent for their data to be used in AI training

  6. Manipulation and Exploitation: vulnerable populations, the potential for AI to manipulate individuals, particularly those who are vulnerable, raises ethical issues regarding exploitation

Legal Concerns

  1. Copyright Issues: content ownership and infringement

  2. Data Privacy: personal data at risk

  3. Liability: attribution of responsibility and determining who is liable for harmful or misleading content 

  4. Regulatory Compliance: adherence to laws, where regulations can vary by jurisdiction
