ABSTRACT
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have wrought a surge in human rights violations that are increasingly preoccupying the minds of citizens and policymakers worldwide (Raso et al., 2018). Algorithms created to regulate online speech instead censor content related to religion, sexual diversity, and far beyond (Penney et al., 2018). AI systems developed to detect cancers (Lashbrook, 2018; Madhusoodanan, 2021) or assess the flight risk of criminal defendants are prejudiced against Black people (Angwin et al., 2016). Facial recognition technologies deployed in high schools misidentify students of color as security threats (Simonite et Barber, 2019). The examples abound. Marginalized communities are recurrently and disproportionately impacted by human rights violations at the proverbial hands of AI technologies.
