Responsible AI Design for a Better World
Responsible AI for Climate Crisis
Conclusion
3. Introduction
Human activities have been affecting the climate for a long time period.
Among all human activities, inventing and using high technology has a
remarkable role in climate crisis.
It seems like there is a trade-off between technology supported
practical life and a world with optimum climate conditions.
A worse situation is that today’s technological tools are blurred
according to human interpretability limits. So, we are losing our control
on the technology and not able to observe possible side-effects to the
climate.
4. Introduction
Bridle points and the associated literature proves
the existence of blurred technological tools and
butter-fly effects in terms of climate change.
Among intensively used technological tools,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a remarkable place
with its latest recent versions within Deep
Learning…
But one may ask «if it is possible to design
Responsible AI to deal with the climate change /
crisis».
5. What is Responsible Artificial Intelligence?
Responsible Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is the word
used for defining governance
approaches against human-
side issues appearing when
intelligent systems and
humans are interacting.
The related issues generally
include concerns regarding
ethics and safety.
Interpretability
Fairness
Safety
Privacy /
Security
Transparency
Accountability
6. What is Responsible Artificial Intelligence?
Some known Responsible AI approaches are by;
Google
Microsoft
European Commission
IBM
Today, companies need self-approaches…
According to the 2020 State of AI and Machine Learning report,
majority of companies do not trust totally in AI based decision-making…
But they are the triggers for Responsible AI to ensure better world…
7. Responsible AI Design for a Better World
A technological world needs responsible tools.
That may be ensured by considering the existential problems while
designing technological tools.
Nowadays, a better world means ensuring sustainability, keeping the
balance between existential problems and technology use in the life…
As the problems are under the umbrella of the climate crisis today,
Responsible AI design is a key solution to shape a better world for the
future.
8. Responsible AI for Climate Crisis
Using AI for predicting the state of climate change (considering massive
human activities, natural changes, resources…etc..). However, that
needs solving a paradox: more AI use for climate crisis but spending
more resources!!!
Certain rules of data and intelligent systems: General rules should be
designed to track data use and complexity level of intelligent systems.
AI techniques and intelligent systems need additional metrics to
evaluate their energy consumptions.
9. Responsible AI for Climate Crisis
Regular maintenance over intelligent systems; for bias, ethics, privacy,
safety tendencies, data usage, interaction with the ‘human’.
Now, AI needs interpretability / explainability!!!
Now, AI needs human-centered design!!!
Everything belonging to the digital world needs regulative rules for
climate change!!!
10. Conclusion
It is clear that we are all running towards a more digitalized world.
At this point, AI has a dominating role on newer technologies,
transformed human and the societies.
However, the digitalized world makes the climate crisis worse and
humans are losing the control on technological tools, which will be more
autonomous in the future.
So, there is an urgent need for Responsible AI actions for climate crisis,
by solving the paradox between need for intelligent systems and side-
effects over the climate.
11. Conclusion
The actions seem like careful use of intelligent systems…
But it is more about human contributions as;
Ensuring regulations,
Encouraging companies, policy makers to design responsible
approaches,
Changing the way of coding AI,
Considering earth and the climate while designing intelligent systems,
Acting in groups and having responsibilities as single entities,
Knowing that the digital transformation does not mean to change the
world; ensuring a peace between climate and the machine…
