Názov: Mitigating Bias and Advocating for Data Sovereignty: The Role of Metadata and Paradata in Ethical AI-Driven Information Systems
Autori: Barbudo Carrasco, Lais, 1988
Zdroj: Journal of Library Metadata. 25(3):185-200
Predmety: AI ethics, algorithmic bias, data sovereignty, metadata, paradata
Popis: The opacity of AI systems leads to challenges related to algorithmic bias, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance. This study explores the role of metadata and paradata as mechanisms for embedding ethical oversight into AI development. It employs a qualitative approach, including a literature review and conceptual analysis, to examine how these elements contribute to ethical AI oversight. It proposes an ethical AI governance framework structured around five key principles: (1) standardized and dynamic metadata and paradata models, (2) interdisciplinary collaboration, (3) policy and regulatory interventions, (4) capacity building, and (5) a unified framework for metadata and paradata standards. Findings indicate that metadata and paradata enhance AI fairness by ensuring traceability and regulatory compliance. Dynamic models allow real-time updates, improving bias mitigation and accountability. However, challenges such as the lack of standardized documentation, regulatory complexities, and the need for emerging technologies like blockchain must be addressed. Future research should focus on automating metadata and paradata management to improve scalability. By implementing the proposed framework, stakeholders, including AI developers, policymakers, and metadata professionals, can foster responsible AI practices that align with ethical principles, regulatory requirements, and societal values.
