论文摘要
为了回应对新基于AI的技术对社会影响的认识，AI和ML少校会议和期刊现在鼓励或要求论文包括道德影响声明并接受道德评论。这一举动引发了有关道德在人工智能研究中的作用的激烈辩论，有时会变成名称和“取消”的威胁。我们将这种冲突诊断为原子主义和整体意识形态之间的冲突。除其他事项外，原子主义者认为事实是并且应该与价值观保持分离，而整体主义者认为事实和价值观是并且应该彼此之间的不可思议。为了减少学科两极分化，我们借鉴了许多哲学和历史来源来描述每个意识形态的核心信念和假设。最后，我们呼吁不断扩展的数据科学界内的原子主义者和整体者在道德分歧期间表现出更大的同理心，并提出四种有针对性的策略，以确保AI研究受益社会。
In response to growing recognition of the social impact of new AI-based technologies, major AI and ML conferences and journals now encourage or require papers to include ethics impact statements and undergo ethics reviews. This move has sparked heated debate concerning the role of ethics in AI research, at times devolving into name-calling and threats of "cancellation." We diagnose this conflict as one between atomist and holist ideologies. Among other things, atomists believe facts are and should be kept separate from values, while holists believe facts and values are and should be inextricable from one another. With the goal of reducing disciplinary polarization, we draw on numerous philosophical and historical sources to describe each ideology's core beliefs and assumptions. Finally, we call on atomists and holists within the ever-expanding data science community to exhibit greater empathy during ethical disagreements and propose four targeted strategies to ensure AI research benefits society.
