Abstract

Ethics and social responsibility is one of the hot topics in HCI research. This paper describes a case of a Japanese AI journal's cover design that evoked a huge public and academic discussion of its ethical and social implications in December 2013. The case implies a lack of dialogue and collaboration between the AI community and researchers in social sciences and humanities that may, in the long term, have a negative impact on the public perception of AI research. Although this is a case study in Japan, we expect that the case will serve as a warning for HCI researchers about the importance of being conscious about social and ethical research perspectives.
