questions and queries on the advent of A.I

1. ETHICAL BY DESIGN

2. Ethics
.
Ethics covers a system of moral principles, i.e. what is good for
individuals and society and what is right or wrong behaviour; how we
behave towards others and wish them to behave towards ourselves.
The principles of ethics draw on religions, philosophy and culture
(Ghillyer, 2012).
Meta-ethics covers moral judgement and the origins and meaning of
ethical principles.
Normative ethics is concerned with the content of moral judgements
and the criteria for what is right or wrong.
Applied ethics looks at divisive issues regarding the actions a person
is permitted or not permitted to take in a specific situation, capital
punishment being an instance.
Information ethics studies the way technology is influencing our
political, legal and social development. In the near future, such
information ethics will permeate every aspect of our moral existence,
irrespective of global location (Ibiricu, van der Made, 2019)

3. A key facet
in ethical design is the
transparency of the technology
and services in how that
technology handles data, as well
as providing choice for the user

4. IofT
The Internet of Things is defined as ‘‘a world where
physical objects are seamlessly integrated into the
information network, and where the physical objects
can become active participants in business
processes. Services are available to interact with
these ‘smart objects’ over the Internet, query their
state and any information associated with them,
taking into account security and privacy issues.’’
(Baldini et al,2016)

5. Issues
d
d
The Internet and the IoT user’s individual
decision process with respect to privacy is
affected and hampered by multiple factors,
as described in Acquisti and Grossklags
(2005): (a) incomplete information on the
consequences of an action (e.g., search on
a person or introduction of data) affects a
privacy decision;(b) the complete set of
needed information to make a rational
choice could be so large that the user may
not be able to access the IoT service in an
effective way;(c) even in the case of
complete information, psychological biases
may force users to make wrong decisions
about privacy
(Baldini et.al,2016)

6. Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a
digital computer or computer-controlled
robot to perform tasks commonly
associated with intelligent beings. The term
is frequently applied to the project of
developing systems endowed with the
intellectual processes characteristic of
humans, such as the ability to reason,
discover meaning, generalize, or learn from
past experience.
(Britannica, 2022)

7. Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence
can in principle be so precisely described that a machine
can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find
out how to make machines use language, form
abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now
reserved for humans and improve themselves (McCarthy
et.al, 1955)

8. Can Machines Think?

9. The original 7 aspects of A.I (1955)
Simulating higher functions of
the human brain
A way to determine and
measure problem complexity
Programming a computer to
use general language
Self- improvement
Arranging hypothetical
neurons in a manner so that
they can form concepts
Abstraction: defined as
the quality of dealing
with ideas rather than
events
.
Randomness
and creativity

10. What could go wrong with A.I?
OBSCURITY
BIASED DECISION MAKING
HARD TO UNDERSTAND/ EXPLAIN
VULNERABILITY TO SECURITY THREATS
DISREGARD TO
CONSENT

11. SOCIAL COMPARISON THEORY
WE TURN TO OTHER PEOPLE OR
GROUPS FOR INFORMATION AND/OR
ACCEPTANCE
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
THEORY
WE GET STRESSED WHEN PROVEN
WRONG
MIMESIS
SOCIAL IDENTITY THEORY
IN GROUP FAVOR, OUT GROUP
BIAS
COMPLIANCE AND
NORMALIZATION
SOCIAL PROCEDURES TO CREATE
COMMON UNDERSTANDING
INNOVATION
ONE ASPECT OF THE SOCIAL
BOND, PART OF SOCIETY’S
EVOLUTION
SOCIAL THEORIES
ONE ASPECT OF THE SOCIAL BOND,
PART OF SOCIETY’S EVOLUTION

12. WHY DO WE CARE?
Art and science
significance
Social media and the
public sphere
Travel and leisure
Economy
News rooms, echo
chambers,
information bubble
Employment, career
opportunities
Democracy
itself
Food and
housing
