The Role of Social Movements, Coalitions, and Workers in Resisting Harmful Artificial Intelligence and Contributing to the Development of Responsible AI

There is mounting public concern over the influence that AI based systems has\nin our society. Coalitions in all sectors are acting worldwide to resist hamful\napplications of AI. From indigenous people addressing the lack of reliable\ndata, to smart city stakeholders, to students protesting the academic\nrelationships with sex trafficker and MIT donor Jeffery Epstein, the\nquestionable ethics and values of those heavily investing in and profiting from\nAI are under global scrutiny. There are biased, wrongful, and disturbing\nassumptions embedded in AI algorithms that could get locked in without\nintervention. Our best human judgment is needed to contain AI's harmful impact.\nPerhaps one of the greatest contributions of AI will be to make us ultimately\nunderstand how important human wisdom truly is in life on earth.\n
