DIAL Design’s Post

Issue #05 of DIAL Weekly looks at the necessity of regulations and governance for AI use. - We cover some existing regulatory policies like the EU AI Act and the NO FAKES ACT - Briefly touch on the issue of AI chatbot companions including the most recent one facing a lawsuit for the death of a 14-year-old boy. - And also an op-ed from @Lisa D. Dance titled "Are We All Unpaid Workers in the AI Value Chain?" In this short writeup, Lisa shares about the unethical ways training data is being sourced without consent from members of the public. She also gives examples like the woman who found her private medical images as part of the dataset used in training Stable Diffusion and Google Imagen. The purpose of this issue isn't to spread hate or fear about AI. Like I wrote in the front page section "What lines should AI cross and shouldn't we be holding it's hands?", it is instead to advocate for more ethical practices and approaches to it. As someone with a background in design, I am very aware of the ways we add friction and limitations to products to protect users from bad behaviors and mistakes. Why don't we carry this same approach into the design of AI by considering more responsible and regulatory practices that protect both people and environments? At DIAL Design, we provide AI Governance as a service to help companies and governments develop and enforce ethical and safe AI regulations and practices. Our process is collaborative including all stakeholders including consumers and innovators interests. And we provide services across your model's lifecycle. From data sourcing to deployment and ongoing management. Enjoy the issue attached below! And as always, on Thursday, the more accessible version will be up on our Medium blog. #AIEthics #AIGovernance #AI
