摘要：人工智能（AI）在人们的生活中无处不在。不幸的是，已经有几起人工智能系统歧视的案例被报道。学者们警告人工智能可能会重现甚至放大现有的不平等现象。为了应对这些风险并促进负责任的人工智能，最近出现了许多人工智能道德准则，包括多样性、公平和包容性 (DEI) 原则和实践。然而，人们对这些指南的 DEI 内容以及它们在多大程度上符合 DEI 文献中最相关的积累知识知之甚少。我们对有关 DEI 权益的 AI 指南进行了半系统的文献综述，并分析了 2015 年至今发布的 46 份指南。我们充实了这 46 条指南的 14 项 DEI 原则和建议的 18 项 DEI 实践。我们发现，该指南主要以有限的合规方式鼓励 DEI 管理范式之一，即公平、正义和非歧视。我们发现狭隘的技术实践比整体的技术实践更受青睐。最后，我们得出的结论是，在人工智能中实施 DEI 原则的建议实践应包括旨在直接影响人工智能参与者的行为和 DEI 风险意识的行动，而不仅仅是陈述意图和计划。
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is present everywhere in the lives of individuals. Unfortunately, several cases of discrimination by AI systems have already been reported. Scholars have warned on risks of AI reproducing existing inequalities or even amplifying them. To tackle these risks and promote responsible AI, many ethics guidelines for AI have emerged recently, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles and practices. However, little is known about the DEI content of these guidelines, and to what extent they meet the most relevant accumulated knowledge from DEI literature. We performed a semi-systematic literature review of the AI guidelines regarding DEI stakes and analyzed 46 guidelines published from 2015 to today. We fleshed out the 14 DEI principles and the 18 DEI practices recommended underlying these 46 guidelines. We found that the guidelines mostly encourage one of the DEI management paradigms, namely fairness, justice, and nondiscrimination, in a limited compliance approach. We found that narrow technical practices are favored over holistic ones. Finally, we conclude that recommended practices for implementing DEI principles in AI should include actions aimed at directly influencing AI actors’ behaviors and awareness of DEI risks, rather than just stating intentions and programs.
