AI Ethics
We are leading the way towards more ethical AI that protects the interests of AI users and creators by pushing the industry to ensure AI technologies are fair, transparent, and accountable.
Leading the Way Towards More Ethical AI
Championing fair, transparent, and accountable AI.
Ethics sits at the core of all our activities at Sony AI, as we challenge ourselves to develop new tools and techniques that can be used safely across the industry and in Sony groups global businesses in critical domains such as imaging, computer vision and entertainment.
Introducing the Fair Human-Centric Image Benchmark (FHIBE)
Discover FHIBE, a publicly available human image dataset implementing best practices for consent, privacy, compensation, safety, diversity, and utility.
OUR WORK
FHIBE: A Fair Reflection
Sony AI’s Fair Human-Centric Image Benchmark (FHIBE) is the first publicly available globally diverse, consensually-collected fairness evaluation dataset for a wide variety of human-centric computer vision tasks.
OUR WORK
Beyond Skin Tone: A Multidimensional Measure of Apparent Skin Color
As part of this project, our researchers strive to measure apparent skin color in computer vision, beyond a unidimensional scale on skintone.
OUR WORK
Ethical Considerations for Responsible Data Curation
Human-centric computer vision (HCCV) data curation practices often neglect privacy and bias concerns. Our research focuses on proactive, domain-specific recommendations, covering purpose, privacy and consent, and diversity, for curating HCCV evaluation datasets, addressing privacy and bias concerns.
Fair Human-Centric Image Dataset for Ethical AI Benchmarking
Learn how FHIBE can be used responsibly as a fairness evaluation dataset for many human-centric computer vision tasks, including pose estimation, person segmentation, face detection and verification, and visual question answering.
