Hey AI, Make My Story Count

Inviting Global Voices to AI

Today, AI systems struggle to be responsive to the values, goals,
and principles of different communities.

We now have too many examples of systems that make incorrect tradeoffs (for the user) focus on “needs” that do not really exist, or otherwise reflect the biases and perspectives of the developers rather than the
​people who are affected by the AI.

A community’s stories reveal much about the value systems in that community, and so a closer consideration of local cultures and traditions could greatly improve the ability of non-storytelling AI to respond to people’s values and interests.
