In today's technology-driven world, we often find ourselves in a dual position as both users and scrutineers of the very technology we rely on. This is especially true when it comes to the intersection of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, cameras, sensors, and tracking tools. While we appreciate the positive impacts they bring, we also want to ensure our personal privacy and anonymity are protected.
A similar duality exists in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We recognize that AI is constantly monitoring our activities, choices, and actions, both online and in the real world, for the greater good. However, we also need to closely examine AI systems to understand their origins, behavior, and decision-making processes. This practice is known as AI observability.
