Guardians of the Algorithm

Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and data enquiry priciples uncovered immese technological possibilities, but it has also presented a range of ethical concerns that require careful supervision and moderation to avoid unintended consequences. This chapter is a thorough examination that emphasizes the crucial importance of human intervention in upholding the ethical integrity of AI systems and data-driven processes. It emphasizes the importance of human supervision not only as a regulatory structure, but also as an essential element in the development and execution of AI systems. The study examines many approaches to human oversight, including both direct intervention and advanced monitoring techniques, that can be incorporated at every stage of the AI lifecycle, from original creation to post-deployment. The study showcases many case studies and real-world situations to illustrate instances when the lack of human supervision resulted in ethical violations, and conversely, where its presence effectively reduced dangers.
