Ethical Considerations in Computer Vision


                 Computer Vision enables machines to see and interpret the
                 visual world through images and videos. While powerful, it

                 raises following important ethical concerns:


                 Informed Consent
                 Computer  Vision  datasets  are  more  often  derived  from  the
                 internet or public spaces without the knowledge of individuals.
                 It is ethical to inform individuals that their data is being collected. However, the challenges are
                 identifying them and obtaining consent.


                 Voluntary Participation
                 It is ethical to collect data in a computer vision project with participants' permission. However,
                 content collected from social media or CCTV footage lacks this voluntary participation ethic.



                 Do No Harm
                 Computer Vision can sometimes cause problems if it makes mistakes, treats people unfairly, or is
                 used in the wrong way. That’s why it is important to check and test the data carefully to make sure
                 it is fair for everyone. This is especially important in areas like hospitals, police work, and job hiring.


                 Confidentiality
                 Many pictures and videos used to train AI are shared online without hiding people’s faces or
                 details. This can be unsafe. To keep data safe, it should be locked with special codes (encryption),
                 only shared with people who are allowed (access control), and stored in secure places where
                 others can’t easily get to it.


                 Anonymity
                 It’s hard to keep people completely anonymous in videos and apps that use faces. To address
                 this, synthetic datasets should be used, and in addition to removing names, visual data must
                 also be protected from identification.



                 Only Assess Relevant Components
                 Some computer systems gather more
                                                                                    Voluntary
                 information than they actually need.                Informed      Participation  Do No Harm
                                                                      Consent
                 This is not right. Good ethics means that
                 systems should only collect the data that
                 is necessary and not go too far or try to                 Confidentiality  Anonymity     Only Assess
                                                                                                           Relevant
                 judge people based on extra details.                                                     Components
