Abstract

Rapid development of Artificial Intelligence(AI) application will change how we think and live in the future and reshape social protocols and moral ethics, resulting in an immense but immeasurable impact. The potential issues of social morality and design ethics brought by data noise may cause interference and threat to the fairness and inclusiveness in design innovation, and subtly aggravate social contradictions and deepen social instability. In the era of globalization, ubiquitous computing and IoT, designers need to rationally rethink their role as a bridge between humanities and technology, and observe and explore the "uncertainty" in AI applications from a new perspective. The nature of application-oriented AI is implemental, however, designers’ understanding and speculation of such a new tool still have large room for improvement. Having the ability and obligation to integrate values into its creation, design should give full play to its characteristics and impact, learn from the four dimensions(anticipatory, reflective, deliberative and responsive) of Responsible Innovation, for embedding assessment, management and intervention of responsibility risks into design decision and process of AI applications, and for establishing an inclusive, open and dynamic adaptive mechanism in order to meet the future challenges. As an important driving force of social innovation, designers should actively engage in the forefront of promoting innovation value and design ethics. Responsible AI and design innovation should work together to set more forward-looking goals and tasks, and lead the spotlight to illuminate the future of human progress.
