ethical questions around AI
Mistakes
Inequality
Unemployment
The hierarchy of labour is concerned primarily with automation.
As we create automated jobs we can assume people to take more complex roles.
e.g. coder, programmer.
Trucking
currently employs millions of individuals in the United States alone.
tesla promising self driving trucks.
Most people still rely on selling their time to have enough income to sustain themselves and their families.
this opportunity may enable people to find meaning in non-labour activities.
e.g. caring for their families, engaging with their communities, learning new ways to contribute to human society
Humanity
Artificially intelligent bots are becoming better and better at modelling human conversation and relationships.
2015, a bot named Eugene Goostman won the Turing Challenge for the first time
human raters used text input to chat with an unknown entity, then guessed whether they had been chatting with a human or a machine.
Eugene Goostman fooled more than half of the human raters into thinking they had been talking to a human being
We are already witnesses to how machines can trigger the reward centers in the human brain.
Just look at click-bait headlines and video games.
Humane treatment of AI
Racism
We shouldn’t forget that AI systems are created by humans, who can be biased and judgmental.
Though artificial intelligence is capable of a speed and capacity of processing that’s far beyond that of humans.
Google
and its parent company
Alphabet
are one of the
leaders
when it comes to
artificial intelligence
as seen in
Google’s Photos
service, where AI is used to identify people, objects and scenes.
It cannot always be trusted to be
fair and neutral.
But it can go wrong.
such as when a camera
"missed the mark"
on racial sensitivity, or when a software used to
"predict future criminals"
showed bias against black people.
Control
Unintended consequences
What if artificial intelligence itself turned against us?
Security
The more powerful a technology becomes, the more can it be used for nefarious reasons as well as good
e.g. robots produced to replace human soldiers, autonomous weapons, AI systems that can cause damage.
Because these fights won't be fought on the battleground only, cybersecurity will become even more important
