AbstractWhat are the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on human rights in the next three decades? Precise answers to this question are made difficult by the rapid rate of innovation in AI research and by the effects of human practices on the adaption of new technologies. Precise answers are also challenged by imprecise usages of the term “AI.” There are several types of research that all fall under this general term. We begin by clarifying what we mean by AI. Most of our attention is then focused on the implications of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which entail that an algorithm or group of algorithms will achieve something like superintelligence. While acknowledging that the feasibility of superintelligence is contested, we consider the moral and ethical implications of such a potential development. What do machines owe humans and what do humans owe superintelligent machines?

Bias And Discrimination

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of e-business and our lives, promising significant benefits to e-business companies and society. However, at the same time, AI systems in e-business may produce biased outcomes, leading to discrimination of minorities and violating human rights. Against this background, this chapter first describes the foundations of bias and discrimination in AI, highlighting its scientific and practical relevance, as well as describing its meaning, emergence, functioning, and impact in the context of e-business. Based on these foundations, the chapter further provides implications for research and practice on how to deal with AI-related bias and discrimination in the future, opening up future research directions as well as outlining solutions and recommendations for eliminating and preventing AI-related bias and discrimination in e-business.

Contemporary Chinese

Dominant design narratives about “the future” contain many contemporary manifestations of “orientalism” and Anti-Chineseness. In US discourse, Chinese people are often characterized as a single communist mass and the primary market for which this future is designed. By investigating the construction of modern Chinese pop culture in Chinese internet and artificial intelligence, and discussing different cultural expressions across urban, rural, and queer Chinese settings, I challenge external Eurocentric and orientalist perceptions of techno-culture in China, positing instead a view of Sinofuturism centered within contemporary Chinese contexts.
