Overview

Key questions about why an AI project should happen, for who is the project for, and by whom should it be developed should be asked, answered, and revisited collectively using a diversity and inclusion lens during the AI-LC. Views from stakeholders and representatives of impacted communities should be sought. Although it might be advantageous that some AI design team members are themselves representative of impacted stakeholders and thus well-placed to recognize and address potential inclusion-related harms, diverse team members should not be expected to stand in for impacted cohorts (whom themselves would hold a diversity of perspectives, expectations, and experiences).
