In Designing Equitable Ocean Technology, we need to emphasize each country’s own technical capacity development. This is especially true today for marine artificial intelligence research like what Matt is doing. The long-term goal is to promote AI literacy training in various countries and under-resourced governments, so local technologists can have the capability to direct technology on their own terms, and steer control away from Silicon Valley.
—Dr. Richard Anderson, Professor of Computer Science at University of Washington and Principal Investigator at Ocean Nexus, on what our webinar will address.
Flashy new technologies like generative AI (ChatGPT), blockchain, and remote sensing are enticing us with their potential to help address our environmental problems. However, technology researchers and activists continue to demonstrate how the impacts of new technologies are often unfair. For example, AI language models frequently generate racist and sexist text that perpetuates the biases in their training data; and electronic surveillance often unfairly targets marginalized and vulnerable communities. So as we design technology initiatives for ocean governance, how can we ensure that they are fair for everyone?
Join on March 28 for discussions on equity challenges in the deployment of AI, blockchain, mobile apps, and remote sensing solutions in ocean governance.
