Ian Moore Memorial Lecture presents:
Disruption! Race and Misaligned Life
Dr. Jerome Clarke from American University
There’s a surprising lack of ethics in AI Ethics. The nascent field revolves around whether social groups can encode their “values” into learning machines—aligning ends of societal and technical systems. Yet much of the discourse laments that the making of accountable, fair, and transparent technology for egalitarian institutions is no examination of whether these tools (and their development) are, in fact, good for us. This paper highlights a parallel impasse in probabilistic approaches to the Philosophy of Race that have gained traction in the AI Ethical literature. In lieu of proposing what “good” entails, I examine different forms of sociotechnical misalignment to demonstrate how that they all minimally consist in the friction felt by those indignified by machines.
