AI: Ethics, Bias, and Trust

                 In order to create effective, functional Al systems, trust is essential. For developers, Al has four features that contribute
                 to the public's perception of its reliability.

                                                  Accountability
                        Transparency                                                                Absence of Bias
                                               Programmers should
                   People ought to be aware   design algorithms with          Privacy            Developers should utilise

                   what to expect from such   unanticipated outcomes   order to maintain privacy  audits to find any bias

                                             and undone as necessary
                 As a user of Al's services, you ought to have a well-informed perspective. Keep in mind that someone authored every
                 news story, every image or video posted on social media, and every advertisement, and their goals may not be the same
                 as yours.


                        Employment and AI

                 Although  artificial  intelligence  has  vastly  improved  our  world  in  many  ways,
                 people are concerned about the imminent impact of AI on employment and
                 work.

                 Roles and Jobs at Risk
                 •   Monotonous and repetitive jobs will be easily automated. This will gradually lead to certain jobs becoming outdated.
                 •   During the pandemic, most queries for admissions to colleges, opening new bank accounts, and other customer care
                   operations were routed through chatbots. So, the initial queries may be handled by chatbots and other personalised
                   queries will be handled by customer care representatives. This will also bring down the load on the customer care
                   representatives as most initial queries tend to be the same.
                 •   Self-driving vehicles will soon be a reality
                 •   Sectors that process large amounts of data like financial services, insurance may also be affected to a certain extent.
                   AI can play a significant role in eliminating red tape thereby improving various services to citizens.
                 •   AI will largely impact the healthcare sector. With better image classifiers, the initial diagnosis of diseases will reduce
                   doctors’ load and lead to timely treatment.
                 •   AI is becoming proficient at Natural Language Processing. Hence, simple translations may be handled by AI while the
                   human translators can concentrate on the complicated translations.
                 Recall that the advent of computers and later the internet made a few jobs obsolete, but it also created new jobs. For example,
                 ATMs reduced the number of cashiers in banks but it had an overall positive impact on banking services. Similarly, AI will also
                 create more jobs than the ones that it will affect. These new jobs will require high-order thinking skills.


                                 Task                                                                    Communication
