It's\nbuilt and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q\u0026A sites.

Even in fewer regions of the\nworld where the artificial intelligence development (_e.g. **how to do this?\n(implementation)**_) has more academic and professional experts (mostly likely\nbecause of decades of government investment and growth of the local high tech\nindustry), the engajement of people outside of computer science field to discuss\nimplementations and even standards of A/IS Ethics (e.g. _**should we do this?\n(rights vs wrong)**_) could be higher. So, how more\nchallanging could in the rest of the world?\n\nActivism (both anti and pro some A/IS specific implementation) to promote more\nimmediate changes in a society using argumentations that the _averange person_\ncould agree can sometimes lead to negative effect on social well-being.\n\n\u003e _TODO: improve this draft of 'Reasons to promote A/IS Ethics Open Groups' (fititnt, 2018-01-29 18:36 BRST)_\n\n\u003c!--\n\n### The challenge of self-doubt\n\nEven experts outside computer science can have fear to express their opinion even when is what could better anwser\n\n(...)\n\n### Activism can be a double-edged sword\nTo make it clear upfront: we should respect people who do activism to promote\nmore immediate changes and **act in good faith**, even if we strongly disagree.\n\nBut assume that is likely to take some time to be respected back, as some\ncounter-argumentations we have to deal could be a result of what they deal\nin figths (argumentations) we're not able to see.\n\n--\u003e\n\n# Contributions\nWays to contribute with suggestions, critics, etc:\n\n- [Open a issue](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-issue/)\n- [Make a Pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/)\n- Talk via e-mail:\n  - with the maintainer: Emerson Rocha \u003crocha@ieee.org\u003e.\n\n# License\n\n[![Public Domain](https://i.creativecommons.org/p/zero/1.0/88x31.png)](UNLICENSE)\n\nTo the extent possible under law, [Emerson Rocha](https://github.com/fititnt)\nhas waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this work to\n[Public Domain](UNLICENSE).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffititnt%2Fais-ethics-open-groups","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffititnt%2Fais-ethics-open-groups","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffititnt%2Fais-ethics-open-groups/lists"}
