Communicating About the Social Implications of AI: A FrameWorks Strategic Brief
Research identified five key obstacles that researchers, activists, and advocates face in efforts to open critical public conversations about AI’s relationship with inequity and advance needed policies.
The strategic brief examines public perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) and identifies five main obstacles to understanding its social implications.
These include confusion between AI and other technologies, lack of knowledge about predictive algorithms, misunderstandings about human-AI relationships, neglect of AI’s role in reinforcing systemic biases, and an overemphasis on regulating individual “bad actors” instead of addressing broader structural issues. The brief recommends clearer communication, a focus on systemic impacts, and advocacy for responsible and equitable AI use.
