Off the white people Schools embed ‘algorithmic bias,’ ‘social good,’ ‘equity’ into AI initiatives Programs at colleges and universities are incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, principles into artificial intelligence research and education, a watchdog group report found. The Defending Education investigation highlights AI hubs at schools, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California Berkeley, Columbia University, Virginia State University, and Morgan State University. Defending Education argues that these programs could influence how AI is developed and used as educators increasingly adopt the technology. According to the watchdog group, some universities embed concepts such as “algorithmic bias,” “social good,” and “equity” into their AI initiatives. “Algorithmic bias is associated with the claim that AI systems are typically created by white or Asian men, and as a result, the answers that AI systems may provide to students or educators will be influenced by these specific white and Asian men who created them,” Defending Education states. For example, the UC Berkeley AI Research Lab hosts an initiative that aims to “to drive critical research, innovation and collaboration towards responsible and equitable AI.” Genevieve Smith, founding director of the Responsible AI Initiative, told The College Fix via email that researchers examine ethical decision-making and linguistic bias in artificial intelligence. “You can see our research published on topics, such as ethical decision-making regarding AI in workplaces or linguistic bias in ChatGPT,” she said.
