As we delve into the realm of federated learning, a decentralized approach to AI model development, we must carefully consider the potential consequences of creating AI models that prioritize individual data owners' interests over broader societal goals.
Federated learning allows multiple organizations or individuals to collaborate on AI model development without sharing their data. This approach can be beneficial in protecting sensitive information and promoting data ownership. However, when data owners prioritize their own interests, it may lead to fragmented and biased AI models that don't serve the greater good.
Imagine a scenario where a healthcare company uses federated learning to develop a predictive model for disease diagnosis. While the model may be highly accurate for the company's own patients, it may not be effective for patients from other demographics or regions. This could exacerbate existing healthcare disparities and hinder the development of more equitable solu...
