Nonetheless, we focus here on the emerging formations of supply and demand for industry-relevant ethics outputs in the context of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and data processing technologies and firms that continue to ascend in commercial prominence. In less than five years, the field has spawned a flagship FAccT conference hosted by the Association for Computing Machines (ACM), with more than 80 papers in 2021, as well as multiple satellite events and publication forums, sponsored by industry players that deploy machine learning in different formats (i.e. Google's Deep Mind, Facebook AI, IBM, Microsoft, Open AI etc.).
