AI, Mobility, Privacy, Ethics - A Conundrum
In this presentation we will first look at some of the issues related to data privacy in the context of ubiquitous collection of data about human and vehicular (and also animal) mobility. Keeping in mind that such data is also raw material for very important and needed applications, we will visit some examples such applications and the ensuing data access, privacy and ethical challenges. We will discuss certain minimal requirements needed for personal data protection in these applications. We will also consider some of the big challenges before modern AI and the recent proposal by Stuart Russell who formulated three desiderata for ethical and safe AI of the future.
