The AI ethics research community faces two intertwined challenges: In the first place, we have a tech industry heavily influencing the AI ethics research agenda. Secondly, cleaning up after the tech industry has implied that we have turned to value-driven design methods to bring ethics to AI design. But by framing research questions relevant to a technical practice, we have facilitated the technological solutionism behind the tech industry\u2019s business model. Therefore, this paper takes the first steps to reshape the AI ethics research agenda by suggesting moving toward an emancipatory framework that brings politics to design while, at the same time, bearing in mind that AI is not to be treated as an inevitability. As a research community, we must focus on the repressive power dynamics exacerbated by AI and address challenges facing the vulnerable groups seldom heard, despite the fact that they are the ones most negatively affected by AI initiatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s44163-022-00043-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,15]],"date-time":"2022-12-15T12:02:52Z","timestamp":1671105772000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The tech industry hijacking of the AI ethics research agenda and why we should reclaim it"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Anne","family":"Gerdes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"43_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.artint.2021.103535","volume":"299","author":"D Silver","year":"2021","unstructured":"Silver D, et al.
