  There is mounting public concern over the influence that AI based systems has
in our society. Coalitions in all sectors are acting worldwide to resist hamful
applications of AI. From indigenous people addressing the lack of reliable
data, to smart city stakeholders, to students protesting the academic
relationships with sex trafficker and MIT donor Jeffery Epstein, the
questionable ethics and values of those heavily investing in and profiting from
AI are under global scrutiny. There are biased, wrongful, and disturbing
assumptions embedded in AI algorithms that could get locked in without
intervention. Our best human judgment is needed to contain AI's harmful impact.
Perhaps one of the greatest contributions of AI will be to make us ultimately
understand how important human wisdom truly is in life on earth.
