调研43国AI从业者伦理实践，发现角色与地区差异显著。
Ethics Practices in AI Development: An Empirical Study Across Roles and Regions
- 跨角色跨区域问卷调研，覆盖414人
- 不同角色对伦理原则熟悉度差异明显
- 呼吁分角色定制伦理方案，适合政策制定者
近期人工智能应用的快速发展引发了对其潜在风险的广泛关注，亟需伦理规范与监管。本文通过混合方法调查研究——结合统计分析与质性研究——考察了全球各地参与AI开发不同角色人员的伦理认知、实践与知识水平。调查涵盖来自43个国家的414名参与者，包括AI管理者、分析师、开发者、质量保证人员以及信息安全与隐私专家。结果表明，不同角色、地区及其他人口统计特征在对AI伦理原则、政府倡议及风险缓解策略的熟悉度与实践经验上存在显著差异。研究强调应在整个AI开发生命周期中，采用协作式、角色敏感的伦理决策模式，推动多元化利益相关方共同参与。我们主张发展定制化、包容性的解决方案，并提出未来研究方向与教育策略，以促进具备伦理意识的AI实践。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in AI applications have raised growing concerns about the need for ethical guidelines and regulations to mitigate the risks posed by these technologies. In this paper, we present a mixed-methods survey study - combining statistical and qualitative analyses - to examine the ethical perceptions, practices, and knowledge of individuals involved in various AI development roles. Our survey comprises 414 participants from 43 countries, representing various roles such as AI managers, analysts, developers, quality assurance professionals, and information security and privacy experts. The results reveal varying degrees of familiarity and experience with AI ethics principles, government initiatives, and risk mitigation strategies across roles, regions, and other demographic factors. Our findings underscore the importance of a collaborative, role-sensitive approach that involves diverse stakeholders in ethical decision-making throughout the AI development lifecycle. We advocate for developing tailored, inclusive solutions to address ethical challenges in AI development, and we propose future research directions and educational strategies to promote ethics-aware AI practices.
