Ethical Challenges
Cybersecurity Risks
False Positives/Negative
Adversarial Attacks
Incorrectly identifying threats.
Failing to detect actual threats.
enerating misleading outputs.
Manipulating AI/ML models.
Transparency and Accountability
Fairness and Bias
Explainability of AI/ML decisions.
Accountability for outcomes (e.g., biases).
Ensuring fairness in algorithmic decisions.
Mitigating biases in training data and models.
Ethical Scenarios
Data Privacy: A healthcare AI system collects patient data for diagnosis. The system's algorithms have the capability to analyze genetic information for personalized treatment recommendations.
Ethical Option: Ensure explicit consent and anonymize data to protect patient privacy.
Unethical Option: Share identifiable genetic data without informed consent, risking patient confidentiality.
Transparency and Accountability:An AI-driven hiring platform uses algorithms to screen job applicants. However, candidates express concerns about the fairness and transparency of the selection process.
Unethical Option: Use opaque algorithms that discriminate based on irrelevant factors such as race or gender.
Ethical Option: Provide clear explanations of how the AI system operates and ensure candidates understand the criteria used for evaluation.
I would advocate for the ethical option of transparency. Transparency supports ethical principles like fairness and justice, as outlined in theories of ethical consequentialism and social contract theory.
I would choose the ethical option of obtaining informed consent and anonymizing data. This aligns with principles of respect for autonomy and privacy, supported by ethical theories like Kantian ethics and principles of beneficence.
