The Uncomfortable Truth About AI Ethics

92% of AI ethics papers are written by Western institutions (MIT study). This creates an alarming monoculture in how we govern technology that affects everyone.

The three biggest ethical blind spots:

  2. *Bias*: Facial recognition fails 35% more for darker skin (NIST)
  3. *Labor*: Kenyan workers making $2/hr filtered toxic content for ChatGPT
