AI implicit costs

Question 1

AI implicit costs
- technical issue

Answer 1

“Bigger is better” → increasing parameters

Too many parameters
- too big
- less quality of the sources

New approach
- less sources but good quality
- less decimal

Question 2

AI implicit costs
- Impact on the environment

Answer 2

→ Power demands
- 2026 consume 100 times of 2023

→ Carbon footprint
- Data centers power consuming infrastructures
- AI more consuming then traditional search

→ Heuristic processes and not analytic mental process
(we could think before of the impact without trial)

→ Biases

Question 3

AI implicit costs
- Heuristic process bias

Answer 3

1) WYSIATI
2) The intentional stance toward the AI
3) Somatic markers
4) Hyperbolic discounts
5) Herd and authority bias
6) Isolated action bias

Question 4

AI implicit costs

• Heuristic process bias
  1) WYSIATI

Answer 4

• What you see is all there is

→ focus exclusively of
- what is visible here and no
- what we always know
-what seems true

→ overlooked
- less-knomw
- hard-to find
- hard-to understand

→ hide ethically relevant costs
- workers
- land
- energy
- etc.

→ cultural factors
- virtual element of AI
- not true or relevant

Question 5

AI implicit costs

• Heuristic process bias
  2) The intentonal stance toward the AI

Answer 5

→ AI as rational agent
- with belief and desire (Intention)
pro → it helps us explain, interact
cons → social and environment costs

→ helps spread disinformation about AI

Question 6

AI implicit costs

• Heuristic process bias
  3) Somatic markers (Sms)

Answer 6

→ physiological states that operate a selection between positive and negative stimuli
- affect decision-making

→ we don’t have direct experience of the consequences of climate-change
- Sms do not activate

Question 7

AI implicit costs

• Heuristic process bias
  4) Hyperbolic discounts

Answer 7

→ Future advantage (or costs) look smaller than real

Question 8

AI implicit costs

• Heuristic process bias
  5) Hard and authority bias

Answer 8

social media → echo chamber

• conspiracy theories

Question 9

AI implicit costs

• Policies for a “Green” AI
  Intervention

Answer 9

Intervention on researchers
→ Developing alghorithms, methodologies, system arrchitecture more:
- efficient
- energy-saving
- environmental-friendly

Question 10

AI implicit costs

• Policies for a “Green” AI
  Good practices

Answer 10

→ Short-term benefits to develop green AI
- tax-cuts
- financial rewards
(hyperbolic discounts)
(isolated action bias)

→ reward researchers that embrace green AI
- activate somatic marker

→ implementing the measures on a massive scale
- active herd and the authority bias
