The biggest threat that AI poses today is replacing humans in performing several jobs, eventually rendering people jobless. Social responsibility teams have long history of engaging with big social challenges and they need to be more engaged in the ethics of AI. Automation also, to a certain extent, has caused such fears. However, if AI is looked upon as a tool rather than a replacement, companies will be able to achieve immense industrial growth.

Hope this helps.

Thank you!

I wouldn't say that AI replaces humans in performing several jobs. The decisions of replacement are made by business management - other human beings for the sake of higher efficiency. It's inevitable consequence of any industrial revolution - that many people would loose their job. So the social responsibility of business and government is to offer people new job opportunities or education opportunities. I think that AI is still inmature technology and there is a long way until we could say that it challenges the humanity.

Faisal Khalil Thank you for your valuable answer

Natalia Vatolkina Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I agree with you its responsibility of government to provide the people required education.

Here are the projects of just two companies Facebook and google, I am studying, I also agree these are not mature yet, with 5G some projects will be executable

Google projects: https://ai.google/

Facebook projects: https://research.fb.com/downloads/

There is one studying i was reading while working on this project. It says these kind of innovations are creating income inequality. The revenue of google increased form 0.4 Billion to 109 Billion because of disrupting many industries.

I need your valuable comments on it? Dont you think being socially responsible google or these companies should also provide training's to the industries which they are getting disrupted because of these developments?

Note: I can understand the benefits of AI are boundary-less and it must be done as its part of human and science evolution but just want to list the possible corporate social responsibilities these companies should care about. Looking forward to hear from you.

Dear Muhammad Farooq ! Thank you for your comment. AI is not my special research area so I know only general things. But disruptive technologies are not new to economic history. Disruption is the heart of any industrial revolution and we are witnessing it. I do not think really that google should take care of the industries it destroyed. It is the free market competition. I think that companies should take on the responsibility of their own employees when company introduces AI that replaces human jobs in the company (offer them other jobs, training). Taking care of people from destroyed industries is the responsibility of government including access to life learning education and employment services/consulting. Maybe companies like google should also invest in education in general offering people opportunity to get necessary AI and other digital skills to improve their employability. And yes - more efficient companies/with better products/with faster innovations will get higher (non-equal) revenues. It is motivation to innovate. If there is no opportunity to get non-equal income by means of introducing successful innovations - who will take on high risks of innovation development?

Natalia Vatolkina Thank you so much. You are right, sounds logical, it is not their (Google or Facebook) responsibility but for the sake of good initiative they should conduct training's.

In education field, I think AI can help teachers' teaching and students' learning effectively, but AI cannot replace excellent teachers. People have emotion and tacit knowledge, but machines do not have them. Our learning includes both explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, and social and emotional knowledge.

AI should be seen as a tool for technical advancement rather than human replacement. If we look at the statistics it speaks about replacement. But it is very much true that certain kind of assignments need to be done by human only. Moreover logically machine cannot be a supplement for human. Social responsibility of business is to create employment opportunities keeping pace with the technical advancement.

Zhaoyun Wang Jayashri Shetty Thank you for your valuable response.

I think the artificial intelligence can make important progress in the work, safety or health field. I have read that there is already a tool to detect false complaints or to facilitate the diagnosis. But I think that the biggest problem of the artificial intelligence is that the machine has not an ethical code like the people. The machine feeds of dates but cannot value them from a moral point of view and because of it can take unfair decisions.  It is possible that the artificial intelligence needs some etic rules like those that were explained by Isaac Asimov for the robotics.

What we are having now is far not AI at all: we are having and using some primitive periferical instruments and the situation will last for long. The real AI once appeared will occupy the cell it would need. We - the natural beings will have to compeet against the AI expansion whatever we can or fall pray to. Although there are plenty paranoical visions of the AI futures, we can hardly predict what it will once be, yet I have a suspicion that AI would not couse much cataclism for the locality it is supposed to exist is not to be shared with biological entities...

Angels Lopez Caballero Thank you so much for your feedback. Have you seen the "Automata" Movie?. Yes machines can be given basic protocols on which their system will be based like the first thing or their first code will be Do not harm humans, but in AI, in Facebook and Google projects, they are working on machine self learning. Just like what happens in movie if self learning machines changed their protocols it can impact us. Having said that, I am more interested on its impact on the labor class. Probably it will impact the fragmented industries alot. previously internet had least impact on the fragmented industry but AI can change that.

Konstantin Svoikin Thank you so much for your response.

Meet the World’s First A.I. Anchors

Current AI anchors can help people to do some jobs, but cannot replace human being. For example, in math classes, teachers can show students their attitude toward learning math, but AI anchors cannot do that. Many students develop math anxiety in their early age, part of reason is from their teachers.

Zhaoyun Wang You are right in current state the robots cannot replace humans, But I think this situation is worrying, at the same time its very interesting. Like for a human reporter the report should call the studio or update the information on portal, In short he has to follow a process but if its an AI machine, they can directly send the information and the machine will communicate it.

As for as teaching is concerned, In teaching AI is focusing on games, I just came had a discusion with of the founders of Soqqle Gaming, they are working on teaching methods with games.

I agree with you, In current state it cannot replace humans complex tasks but its replacing repetitive tasks
