However, it is unclear how meaningful the notion of "zero-shot" generalization is for such multimodal... Power and Play: Investigating "License to Critique" in Teams' AI Ethics Discussions Past work has sought to design AI ethics interventions-such as checklists or toolkits-to help practitioners design more ethical AI systems. However, other work demonstrates how these interventions and the principles they're based on may serve to instead limit critique to those addressed within the...
