What would it take to build AI ethically?

What would it take to build AI ethically? - Lemmy.World

A lot of us here hate AI because of how it was built: training data gathered without the creators’ consent, data centers that negatively affect communities’ access to clean water and energy, a technology design that is inherently prone to hallucinations, etc. At least, those are the main reasons why I hate it. I think I might actually want to support an AI project if I thought it was being done right. Maybe we could get more people away from exploitative models if there was a non-exploitative alternative. So what would it take to build AI ethically, in your opinion? And do you know of anyone trying to build AI without these issues?

Dang, maybe it’s time for me to consider re-converting to Catholicism

One thing that helps me is thinking of the smallest possible first step, then committing to doing that thing alone. For instance, if I’m having trouble getting myself to write something, I might tell myself to just make a few bullet points of things that need to be included or write a single paragraph. If I’m having trouble studying something I want to study, I might tell myself to make/go through one flashcard. Usually I end up writing more than a few bullet points/that one paragraph and doing far more than one flashcard.
