Respecting cultural diversity in ethics applied to AI: a new approach for a multicultural governance

Artificial intelligence seems to be part of our everyday lives. For some it represents the promise of a better world and many improvements that would be beneficial for humanity. For others, AI is seen as threat, if not an existential threat that needs to be controlled strictly. Whatever the stance,...

Respecting cultural diversity in ethics applied to AI: a new approach for a multicultural governance
description
Artificial intelligence seems to be part of our everyday lives. For some it represents the promise of a better world and many improvements that would be beneficial for humanity. For others, AI is seen as threat, if not an existential threat that needs to be controlled strictly. Whatever the stance, the need to regulate AI is now widely recognized. Short of legal instruments offering a specific framework for the development and use of AI, ethics has been summoned to set standards and establish guardrails. Yet, the number of documents pertaining to ethical standards for AI has increased exponentially to reach a point where it is difficult to know how to use them efficiently. These documents have mostly been issued to promote vested interests, and the setting of a universal code of AI ethics has been seen as a solution for AI global governance. If a global governance system is required to avoid negative outcomes of AI, it appears that the idea of a universal code of ethics denies the diversity of ethical standpoints based on the diversity of philosophical cultures the world is made of. Instead of offering a legitimate and efficient tool, such a solution could lead to cultural tensions between leading actors in the field of AI as it is the case between China and the United States. To avoid conflicting situations stemming from the denial of cultural diversity, it is more than ever necessary to put aside the idea of a universal code of AI

To avoid conflicting situations stemming from the denial of cultural diversity, it is more than ever necessary to put aside the idea of a universal code of AIA inteligência artificial parece fazer parte do nosso dia a dia. Para alguns, representa a promessa de um mundo melhor e muitas melhorias que seriam benéficas para a humanidade. Para outros, a IA é vista como uma ameaça, se não uma ameaça existencial que precisa ser rigorosamente controlada. Seja qual for a posição, a necessidade de regular a IA é agora amplamente reconhecida. Sem um instrumento legal que ofereça uma estrutura específica para o desenvolvimento e uso da IA, a ética foi convocada para estabelecer padrões e estabelecer barreiras. No entanto, o número de documentos referentes a padrões éticos para IA aumentou exponencialmente até chegar a um ponto em que é difícil saber como usá-los com eficiência. Esses documentos foram emitidos principalmente para promover interesses adquiridos, e a definição de um código universal de ética em IA tem sido vista como uma solução para a governança global de IA. Se um sistema de governança global é necessário para evitar resultados negativos da IA, parece que a ideia de um código de ética universal nega a diversidade de pontos de vista éticos baseados na diversidade de culturas filosóficas de que o mundo é feito. Em vez de oferecer uma ferramenta legítima e eficiente, tal solução poderia levar a tensões culturais entre os principais atores no campo da IA, como é o caso da China e dos Estados Unidos. Para evitar situações conflitantes decorrentes da negação da diversidade cultural, é mais do que nunca necessário deixar de lado a ideia de um código universal de IALa Inteligencia Artificial parece ser una parte de nuestra vida diaria. Para algunos representa la promesa de un mundo mejor y muchas mejoras que serían beneficiosas para la humanidad. Para otros, la IA es vista amenaza, si no como un peligro existencial que necesita ser estrictamente controlado. Cualquiera sea la postura, la necesidad de regular la IA actualmente está ampliamente reconocida. Con pocos instrumentos legales que ofrezcan un marco específico para el desarrollo y uso de la IA, se ha acudido a la ética para establecer estándares y establecer límites. No obstante, el número de documentos que hacen referencia a los estándares éticos para la IA ha aumentado exponencialmente hasta alcanzar un punto donde es difícil saber cómo utilizarlo de manera eficiente.  Estos documentos en su mayoría se han publicado para promocionar intereses particulares y el establecimiento de un código universal de ética para IA ha sido contemplada como una solución para el gobierno mundial IA. Si se necesita un sistema de gobernanza mundial para evitar un resultado negativo de la IA, es aparente que la idea de un código de ética universal niega la diversidad puntos de vista éticos que se basan en las diferentes culturas filosóficas que componen al mundo. En lugar de ofrecer una herramienta legítima y eficiente, una solución de este tipo podría terminar en tensiones culturales entre los actores principales en el campo de la IA como es el caso de China y Estados Unidos. Para evitar situaciones conflictivas derivadas de la negación de la diversidad cultural es más necesario que nunca dejar a un lado la idea de un código ético universal de IA y comenzar a pensar acerca de un nuevo sistema de gobernanza que respete la variedad de perspectivas éticas.   2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=9054768(Revista) ISSN 1794-600XMisión Jurídica: Revista de derecho y ciencias sociales, ISSN 1794-600X, Vol. 15, Nº. 23, 2022, pags. 111-122engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
