Introduction
Understanding fairness in artificial intelligence is important for us not only because it can be helpful,
but also because it will be the youth, the Gen Z and Gen X of the world,
who will inherit the future of Artificial Intelligence. In the current era,
the primary concern of the youth is data privacy
and transparency. They are also attuned to the environmental costs and impacts of AI.
They call for regulations and norms that focus on inclusion, transparency,
digital justice,
empathy, and practical pathways for newcomers. AI is envisioned as a force
for social justice, not just for profit and efficiency.
Fairness in AI
As Artificial Intelligence becomes part of our routine lives in almost all aspects,
its engagement with the younger generation and its consequences are extremely
important to contemplate. It is vital to recognize the strength and role of both
individuals and communities in this hyper-connected world.
Fairness in AI not only prevents bias but also ensures
that AI creates equitable opportunities worldwide.
The voice of the youth calls for reducing the digital skills gap. They emphasize
increasing the representation of women in AI, particularly in the Global South.
The successful adoption of new technologies requires that both benefits and potential
harms are publicly acknowledged. Without trust, transparency, and accountability,
AI tools can do more harm than good.
The recent use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT as therapists has caused immense harm
to younger generations. This highlights why
digital literacy is crucial today.
For example, the Young AI Leaders Community, an initiative launched by
AI for Good,
promotes inclusivity and ethical algorithms.
Conclusion
The world of International Relations now partly exists in cyberspace, motivating us
to practice fairness in artificial intelligence by upholding values of sovereignty, equity, and diverse
representation. Bridging the structural gap between the Global North and South is
essential to address uneven AI benefits. Generational awareness, transparency,
inclusion, and ethical AI use are critical.
These efforts will pave the way for a more inclusive and digitally stable world.
