What do you understand by ethics of artificial intelligence ?
1. The ethics of artificial intelligence is the branch of the ethics of technology specific to artificially intelligent systems.
2. It is sometimes divided into a concern with the moral behavior of humans as they design, make, use and treat artificially intelligent systems, and a concern with the behavior of machines, in machine ethics.
3. It also includes the issue of a possible singularity due to super intelligent
Que 1.14. What are the ethical problems in Artificial Intelligence ?
Answer : Following are some of the ethical problems that need to be dealt with in Artificial Intelligence:
A. Artificial Intelligence Bias:
1. Human beings are sometimes biased against other religions, genders, nationalities, etc.
2. This bias may unconsciously also enter into the Artificial Intelligence Systems that are developed by human beings.
3. The bias may also creep into the systems because of the flawed data that is generated by human beings.
4. For example, Amazon recently found out that their Machine Learning based recruiting algorithm was biased against women.
5. It is important that Al researchers specifically try to remove bias while developing and training the AI systems and selecting the data.
6. There are many companies that are working towards creating unbiased Al systems.
7. IBM scientists have created an independent bias rating system to calculate the fairness of an Al system.
B. Rights of Robots:
1. If robots become advanced enough emotionally, should they be given equal rights like humans or lesser rights ?
2. What if robots kill someone. Should it be considered murder or a machine malfunction ?
3. All these are ethical questions that need to be answered as Artificial Intelligence becomes and more intelligent.
C. Human Control on Artificial Intelligence:
1. Currently, human beings are the dominant species on Earth.
2. Human beings are dominant because of their intelligence.
3. So the critical question is, "What happens when Artificial Intelligence becomes more intelligent than Human Beings?
4. This would make AI the dominant species on Earth and lead to huge changes in human existence or even human extinction.
5. Humans need to prepare for this scenario and how to deal with it.
D. AI replacing human workers :
1. As Artificial Intelligence becomes more and more advanced, it will obviously take over jobs that were once performed by humans.
2. Around 800 million jobs could be lost worldwide because of automation by 2030.
3. Now the question arises "What about the humans that are left unemployed because of this?"
4. Some people believe that many jobs will also be created because of Artificial Intelligence and that may balance the scales a bit.
5. People could move from physical and repetitive jobs to jobs that actually require creative and strategic thinking.
6. But this is more likely to happen to people who are already educated and fall in the richer bracket.
7. This might increase the gap between the rich and poor even further.
8. A new societal setup will have to be generated so that all human beings are able to earn money even in this scenario.
E. Handling mistakes made by AI:
1. Artificial Intelligence may evolve into a super-intelligence in a few years but right now it is basic and so it makes mistakes.
2. Currently it make mistakes that are relatively safe and can be easily handled.
3. But Artificial Intelligence may make complicated mistakes in the future.
4. Then what is to be done ? The question is about relativity.
5. Do Artificial Intelligence systems make lesser or more mistakes. than humans?
6. Do their mistakes lead to actually lose of life?
7. And if there is a loss of life, is it more or less than when humans make mistakes?
8. All of these questions need to be taken into account when developing Al systems for different applications so that their mistakes are bearable and not catastrophic.
