“…In a sense, technology can be understood as a (more or less controllable) form of power lent to some, while it renders others (and possibly the rest of nature) more powerless with regards to the former [366]. In the last few years, we have increasingly seen the application of DL in the political sphere [57,[367][368][369][370]. The manipulative potentials of DL systems [371] clearly have the power to substantially impact our 'freedom' as citizens in modern societies-especially through microtargeting, nudging, adaptive preference formation, and manipulating choice architectures of 'persuasive technology' [372][373][374][375][376][377][378][379][380][381][382][383]which were impressed on the public mind through the 'Cambridge Analytica Scandal' [384].…”

AI Ethics

Following the success of deep learning (DL) in research, we are now witnessing the fast and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life, influencing the way we act, think, and organize our lives. However, much still remains a mystery when it comes to how these systems achieve such high performance and why they reach the outputs they do. This presents us with an unusual combination: of technical mastery on the one hand, and a striking degree of mystery on the other. This conjunction is not only fascinating, but it also poses considerable risks, which urgently require our attention. Awareness of the need to analyze ethical implications, such as fairness, equality, and sustainability, is growing. However, other dimensions of inquiry receive less attention, including the subtle but pervasive ways in which our dealings with AI shape our way of living and thinking, transforming our culture and human self-understanding. If we want to deploy AI positively in the long term, a broader and more holistic assessment of the technology is vital, involving not only scientific and technical perspectives, but also those from the humanities. To this end, we present outlines of awork programfor the humanities that aim to contribute to assessing and guiding the potential, opportunities, and risks of further developing and deploying DL systems. This paper contains a thematic introduction (Sect. 1), an introduction to the workings of DL for non-technical readers (Sect. 2), and a main part, containing the outlines of a work program for the humanities (Sect. 3). Readers familiar with DL might want to ignore 2 and instead directly read 3 after 1.
