Description: Power dynamics in the context of ethics and bias in artificial intelligence (AI) refer to how power is distributed and exercised within the social structures that interact with these technologies. This concept encompasses the relationships of influence and control established among different actors, such as developers, companies, governments, and users. Decisions regarding the design, implementation, and regulation of AI can reflect and perpetuate existing inequalities, as well as create new forms of domination. Power dynamics also involve the ethical responsibility of those who create and use AI, as their choices can significantly impact people’s lives and society as a whole. In this sense, it is crucial to consider how decisions about AI are made, who benefits, and who may be harmed. Transparency, accountability, and the inclusion of diverse voices in the development process are key elements to address power dynamics and ensure that AI is used fairly and equitably.
