商品描述
In the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, big data is weighed in gold, placing enormous power in the hands of data scientists - the modern AI alchemists. But great power comes with greater responsibility. This book seeks to shape, in a practical, diverse, and inclusive way, the ethical compass of those entrusted with big data.
Being practical, this book provides seven real-world case studies dealing with big data abuse. These cases span a range of topics from the statistical manipulation of research in the Cornell food lab through the Facebook user data abuse done by Cambridge Analytica to the abuse of farm animals by AI in a chapter co-authored by renowned philosophers Peter Singer and Yip Fai Tse. Diverse and inclusive, given the global nature of this revolution, this book provides case-by-case commentary on the cases by scholars representing non-Western ethical approaches (Buddhist, Jewish, Indigenous, and African) as well as Western approaches (consequentialism, deontology, and virtue).
We hope this book will be a lighthouse for those debating ethical dilemmas in this challenging and ever-evolving field.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在第四次工業革命的浪潮中，大數據被視為黃金，將巨大的權力置於數據科學家-現代人工智慧煉金術士的手中。然而，偉大的權力伴隨著更大的責任。本書旨在以實際、多元和包容的方式塑造那些被賦予大數據責任的人的道德指南。
本書實用性強，提供了七個處理大數據濫用的實際案例研究。這些案例涵蓋了各種主題，從康奈爾食品實驗室的統計操縱研究，到劍橋分析公司對Facebook用戶數據的濫用，再到由著名哲學家彼得·辛格和謝業謙合著的一章中人工智慧對農場動物的濫用。本書多元且包容，考慮到這場革命的全球性，提供了學者對這些案例進行逐個評論，代表非西方倫理觀（佛教、猶太教、土著和非洲）以及西方倫理觀（結果主義、義務論和德性論）。
我們希望本書能成為在這個充滿挑戰且不斷演變的領域中討論倫理困境的燈塔。
