Abstract:

In the first part we cover five current specific challenges through examples:

• discrimination (e.g., facial recognition, justice, sharing economy, language models);
• phrenology (e.g., biometric based predictions);
• unfair digital commerce (e.g., exposure and popularity bias);
• stupid models (e.g., Signal, minimal adversarial AI) and
• indiscriminate use of computing resources (e.g., large language models).

These examples do have a personal bias but set the context for the second part where we address four generic challenges:

• too many principles (e.g., principles vs. techniques);
• cultural differences;
• regulation and
• our cognitive biases.

We finish discussing what we can do to address these challenges in the near future.
