Ethical AI and Data Science: Building Trustworthy and Transparent Systems
暫譯: 倫理人工智慧與數據科學：建立可信賴與透明的系統

隨著人工智慧（AI）滲透到日常生活中——影響誰能獲得何種醫療保健、決定誰能獲得就業面試或學術入學，或是向誰提供何種資訊——它塑造了個人和社會。AI擁有改善生活的深遠能力，但也並非沒有風險。由於其局限性，AI可能會阻止一個人獲得所需的醫療保健，阻擋一位應得的候選人獲得工作，或提供虛假和不準確的資訊。我們如何信任AI系統能改善生活，而不會造成更大的不平等和衝突？我們如何促進AI的好處並減輕AI帶來的危害？倫理AI與數據科學：建立可信賴和透明的系統回答了這些問題。

這本書圍繞數據、可及性以及AI在倫理、安全和社會影響方面所帶來的多面挑戰展開了重要且持續的對話，並由一群專家撰寫了多元的觀點和實用的方法。書中的亮點包括：

- 通過決策可追溯性確保代理AI的安全性
- 在金融服務中促進負責任和倫理的AI
- 橋接人機知識以實現負責任的AI
- 負責任的代理AI以有效的網絡安全和倫理安全

本書提供了有價值的見解，幫助讀者駕馭開發不僅具創新性而且透明、公平和安全的AI系統的複雜性。本書旨在促進研究人員、實務工作者和政策制定者之間的理解與合作，幫助塑造能夠負責任地服務社會的AI技術，同時解決有關公平性、問責制和人類福祉的關鍵問題。
