The dirty little secret of Responsible AI is that the loudest advocates often come from corporations with questionable ethical track records.
I was at a conference earlier this week, and the “supposed RAI expert” claimed 15 years of generative AI experience—impossible, given transformers were invented around seven years ago. This person “leads responsible AI” for one of the largest companies on the planet.
This either indicates a blatant lie or a misunderstanding, neither of which is ethical or confidence inspiring. Worst of all, this seems like a common practice in RAI space.
Relying on ethical and moral guidance from unethical companies and sources defeats the purpose. This type of moral guidance is inherently flawed and should be taken with a grain of salt.
The key in responsible Ai isn’t in preaching or advocating—It’s in implementing, understanding and introspection. oh and while I’m at it, there’s no such thing as unbiased data, another thing these RAI experts love to tell you.
Many so-called Responsible AI experts lack any practical AI experience. It's easy to preach ethics, but implementing it requires real know-how, which most of these advisors lack. Talk is cheap.
Sorry folks, I’m calling BS on most of the space. Rant over.
