AI Ethics
The discipline deals with right vs wrong and the moral
obligations and duties of humans. It’s called AI ethics.
1. All of us use smartphones. When we install a new app, it asks us for several
permissions to access our phone’s data in different ways. Why do apps collect
such data?
2. Ajay wants to access data from various sources. Suggest him any two points
that he needs to keep in mind while accessing data from any data source.
Ans: While accessing data from any of the data sources, following points
should be kept in mind:
1. Data which is available for public usage only should be taken up.
2. Personal datasets should only be used with the consent of the owner.
4. Data should only be taken from reliable sources as the data collected
from random sources can be wrong or unusable.
ANS: When a machine possesses the ability to mimic human traits, i.e.,
make decisions, predict the future, learn and improve on its own, it is said to
have artificial intelligence. In other words, you can say that a machine is
artificially intelligent when it can accomplish tasks by itself - collect data,
understand it, analyse it, learn from it, and improve it.
Machines become intelligent once they are trained with some data
which helps them achieve their tasks. AI machines also keep updating their
knowledge to optimise their output. For example, Netflix gives us
recommendations on the basis of what we like. Whenever we start liking a
new genre, it updates and gives better suggestions.
ANS: Any machine that has been trained with data and can make
decisions/predictions on its own can be termed as AI. Eg: The bot or the
automation machine is not trained with any data is not an AI while a chatbot
that understands and processes human language is an AI.
5. If you do an image search for vacations on a popular search engine, the first
few searches mostly return the picture of beaches. What is the concern here?
Explain.
ANS: In the given scenario, we are concerned about the bias. When we talk
about a machine, we know that it is artificial and cannot think on its own. It
can have intelligence, but we cannot expect a machine to have any biases of its
own. Any bias can transfer from the developer to the machine while the
algorithm is being developed.
6. Suhana works for a company wherein she was assigned the task of
developing a project using AI project cycle. She knew that the first stage was
scoping the problem. Help her list the remaining stages that she must go
through to develop the project.
ANS: Steps of AI project life cycle:
1. Data Acquisition
2. Data Exploration
3. Modelling
4. Evaluation
ANS: Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to any technique that enables computers
to mimic human intelligence i.e., make decisions, predict the future, learn and
improve on its own.
With respect to the type of data fed in the AI model, AI models can be broadly
categorised into three domains:
1. Data sciences
2. Computer vision
Data Science takes input in the form of numeric and alphanumeric data.
Computer Vision takes input in the form of images and videos. Natural
Language Processing takes input in the form of text and speech.
