Huffer, D., Wood, C. and Graham, S. 2019 What the Machine Saw: some questions on the ethics of computer vision and machine learning to investigate human remains trafficking, Internet Archaeology 52. https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.52.5 This new article has just been published in Internet Archaeology 52, and represents the next step in the authors' efforts to understand the online human remains trade, how, why and where it exists on social media. https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.52.5 Expanding on earlier research (also published Internet Archaeology https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.45.5) which explored the 'rhetoric' and structure behind the use and manipulation of images and text by this collecting community, this current research goes on to address the ethical and moral dilemmas that can confound the use of new technology to classify and sort thousands of images. The article maps out some pressing and acute issues at the nexus of machine learning and cultural heritage and will be useful for all those undertaking machine learning (not just archaeologists) to think about the deployment of their systems.
