Mindful AI: Reflections on Artificial Intelligence

The right book for the right time!

"We are in the midst of a transition period. The more advanced Artificial Intelligence becomes, the more uncertainty spreads. We must reposition ourselves and change our mindset if we don't want to perish."

(MINDFUL AI)

Mindful AI refers to designing and building artificial intelligence (AI) systems with awareness and consideration of their ethical, moral, and societal implications. Mindful AI involves taking a holistic approach to AI that incorporates considerations of fairness, transparency, accountability, and respect for human rights. This can include examining AI systems' potential biases and unintended consequences and ensuring that they are designed and used responsibly and ethically. By approaching AI with mindfulness, developers and organizations can help build trust in the technology while ensuring that it is used in ways aligned with society's values and interests.

***

The field of AI is highly interdisciplinary & evolutionary. The more AI penetrates our life and environment, the more comprehensive the points we have to consider and adapt. Technological developments are far ahead of ethical & philosophical interpretations; this fact is disturbing.

We need to close this gap as soon as possible.
