I attended a conference at DU named ICAS 2019 and there, Professor Dr. Wendy Martinez discussed data ethics. What should be our ethical decision in the case of AI?
Let's explain with an example. Suppose for an AI-oriented car, an accident is unavoidable, then what should be the decision from the following options?
1. Hit the barrier in the road which may damage the car and passengers.
2. Hit pedestrians?
It barely depends on the pedestrian's number, passenger number, age of passengers, age of pedestrians, barrier type, etc. things in case of a human-driven car. But for AI, what should be an ethical option?
In my perception, different countries have different ethical perspectives as culture, ethics differ from place to place. Then different AI devices may use that sort of decision that may suits that specific region. But for the decision, different AI making companies may follow some guidelines.
I would like to suggest some globally recognized organizations to keep this concern. First, they have to make some choice options for the questionnaire that arose and make a survey for the arisen issues. The survey should maintain a minimum number of participants to make the decision. Then the survey decision should be presented in front of a jury board of that specific region, who may finalize the decision for AI. There should be some specific law too for AI in that region. Then the algorithm should be finalized and applied.
(Note: It is obvious that there should be no such type of devices that may harm mankind. But you know, sometimes failure occurs and then we should follow that ethical statement.)
I am expecting your perception on this.
Hi,
This is an artificially contrived issue related to the unlawful attribution of human qualities to artificial intelligence. Ultimately, artificial intelligence is a computer program written in machine codes that are executed sequentially. Artificial intelligence cannot change the text of its program itself, i.e. self-learn. Therefore, no ethics in artificial intelligence is not even close. Ethics is a question of those who create algorithms for which artificial intelligence works.
For unmanned vehicles, the ethical issue was decided as follows: they will drive along the designated lanes, where the risk of unpredictable factors is minimal. That is, the solution to the question posed is not to choose one of the two alternatives, in order to avoid both alternatives.
The purpose of artificial intelligence in our lives is to reset errors. The presence of an inevitable accident already shows that this intelligence is not what we want. If, as you say, there will be an inevitable accident; First of all, those who cause inevitable casualties in the accident must be punished. It should be questioned whether artificial intelligence programming is the right choice at the time of the accident. However, first of all, it should be checked whether all possibilities are included in artificial intelligence programming. If all possibilities are not included, the commitments of those implementing this program should be examined. If there is no accident or no loss is promised in the event of any danger, it should be punished. However, if there are gaps in the commitment, these deficiencies should be eliminated at this time. Perhaps the best assessment would be; programming artificial intelligence including all possibilities before the daily use, If there is a truly unforeseeable and acceptable error in its development, to continue with a better and reliable artificial intelligence system.
