        <p>
          The interaction between Machine Learning-based systems and their social context
          can be examined through the lens of different inter-related topics. In our work,
          we have found the following 8 topics to constitute a helpful way to organize resources:

          <ul>
            <li>
              <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D2KA3CKcuKOc9mOMRKjucYrYBREx30z9xuKUGSgQUEE/">

          </ul>

          <p>
            As AI is becoming ever more ubiquitous, increasingly more builders and affected
            stakeholders need to understand how it works, what it can and cannot do, what trade-offs
            are involved in developing the technology, and how it can be leveraged or improved in 
            particular contexts. This requires sufficient visibility and a thriving research ecosystem
            that is inclusive of perspectives outside of those of the developers working within the 
            very best-resourced companies.
          </p>

          <p>
            Making informed decisions about AI systems requires understanding how the technology works,
            what development choices are available to meet certain goals, and how they trade off different
            priorities. Approaching AI as a science means upholding scientific integrity, which includes
            reproducibility, verifiability, and increasing the breadth of people who can use the technology 
            and contribute to scientific development.

          <h3 id="Developing">Developing: Openness, Business, and Competition</h3>

          <ul>

          <p>
            “AI” and Machine Learning systems are already ubiquitous, deployed in social
            media and all kinds of digital services. AI can be compared to “Software 2.0” -
            AI literacy is becoming part of the basic set of skills to build any kind of 
            technology. Relying exclusively on AI systems that are developed and served by a 
            handful of companies would have strong negative impacts on innovation and competition.
          </p>

          <p>
            Having access to data is a significant competitive bottleneck, including: data about
            how people are using AI systems - data about what AI systems are better or worse out - 
            use data and feedback from users - proprietary data to fine-tune models - internal databases
            for RAG-like techniques. Sending all of that data to a few companies further centralizes 
            their role in adapting new technology. In addition to enabling anti-competitive practices, 
            this also limits the breadth of technology that can be developed - better to have smaller
            companies work on their own hundreds of thousands of use cases than to have central entities
            decide what is worth deploying and providing a “just OK” unique solution for everything.
