Ethics within the Code: The Machine, the Other & Robotic Ethics
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot subject in the news over the last few years. Perusing the national and international headlines of today offers a scary and frightening picture of what may be coming as well as an opportunity to not work, cleanup, or do anything since robots and machines will manage our lives. The Huffington Post describes the advancement of “Nanobots in our brains will make us God-like.” The Guardian has warned the UN that the delays on “killer robots” bans on autonomous weapons will leave the door open for future robot wars. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and a host of other tech luminaries and academics have called AI the greatest threat to the future of the planet.

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and tech innovator, has been vocal about his concerns regarding artificial intelligence (AI). He believes that AI could pose a significant threat to humanity if not developed and used responsibly.
Recently, Musk joined a group of experts in urging a halt to AI training, citing the potential risks and dangers associated with the technology. They have signed an open letter warning of potential risks, and say the race to develop AI systems is out of control.
What really is Artificial Intelligence about?
AI systems are growing. But what is AI, where did the idea behind it come from, what is intelligence, how does expert level intelligence work, and perhaps most importantly, would AI systems eventually make human beings redundant?

Artificial intelligence is concerned with designing intelligent systems. The term was coined in 1956. Throughout history, people have developed increasingly sophisticated machines and proposed theories of intelligent behavior. Modern AI research includes areas like robotics, games, neural networks, and supercomputers. Characteristics of AI systems include being reactive, context-specific, flexible, and realistic. Ethical issues around developing sentient AI include questions around rights, responsibilities, and the potential for harm. Both advantages like automating jobs and risks like unpredictable behavior must be considered. Different philosophical and religious views provide various perspectives on these issues.

Elon Musk’s Vision of AI-Driven Job Disruption.pdf
Elon Musk's remarks underscore ongoing discussions about the societal implications of AI advancement and the evolving dynamics between humans and technology in an increasingly automated world.
Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely FutureEvery new technolog.docx
“Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely Future
Every new technology brings its own nightmare scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are no exceptions. Indeed, the word “robot” was coined for a 1920 play that dramatized just such a doomsday for humanity.
Recently, an open letter about the future of AI, signed by a number of high-profile scientists and entrepreneurs, spurred a new round of harrowing headlines like “Top Scientists Have an Ominous Warning about Artificial Intelligence,” and “Artificial Intelligence Experts Sign Open Letter to Protect Mankind from Machines.” The implication is that the machines will one
day displace humanity.
Let’s get one thing straight: a world in which humans are enslaved or destroyed by superintelligent machines of our own creation is purely science fiction. Like every other technology, AI has risks and benefits, but we cannot let fear dominate the conversation or guide AI research. Nevertheless, the idea of dramatically changing the AI research agenda to focus on AI “safety” is the primary message of a group calling itself the Future of Life Institute (FLI). FLI includes a handful of deep thinkers and public figures such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and worries about the day in which humanity is steamrolled by powerful programs run a muck.
As eloquently described in the book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by FLI advisory board member and Oxford-based philosopher Nick Bostrom, the plot unfolds in three parts. In the first part—roughly where we are now—computational power and intelligent software develops at an increasing pace through the toil of scientists and engineers. Next, a breakthrough is made: programs are created that possess intelligence on par with humans. These programs, running on increasingly fast computers, improve themselves extremely rapidly, resulting in a runaway “intelligence explosion.” In the third and final act, a singular super-intelligence takes hold—outsmarting, outmaneuvering, and ultimately outcompeting the entirety of humanity and perhaps life itself. End scene.
Let’s take a closer look at this apocalyptic storyline. Of the three parts, the first is indeed happening now and Bostrom provides cogent and illuminating glimpses into current and near-future technology. The third part is a philosophical romp exploring the consequences of supersmart machines. It’s that second part—the intelligence explosion—that demonstrably violates what we know of computer science and natural intelligence.
Runaway Intelligence?
The notion of the intelligence explosion arises from Moore’s Law, the observation that the speed of computers has been increasing exponentially since the 1950s. Project this trend forward and we’ll see computers with the computational power of the entire human race within the next few decades. It’s a leap to go from this idea to unchecked growth of machine intelligence, however.
First, ingenuity is not the sole bottleneck to developing faster com.

1) The document discusses whether artificial intelligence can morally replace humans in cancer treatment by analyzing the case of IBM Watson Oncology.
2) IBM Watson Oncology uses AI and machine learning to analyze patient data and provide treatment options to help doctors, achieving similar or better diagnosis rates than doctors.
3) However, some argue that AI systems like Watson are "black boxes" that we don't fully understand, and they could fail or make decisions in unexpected ways, so strict principles are needed to ensure AI aligns with human values and responsibilities.

The future of medicine
1. Advances in technology like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are transforming medicine and how patients receive care. Virtual assistants and digital tools powered by AI may replace many routine doctor tasks in the future.
2. A Japanese patient's rare form of leukemia was successfully diagnosed by IBM's Watson after it analyzed the patient's genetic data compared to 20 million studies. This shows how AI can outperform doctors in certain areas.
3. For doctors to remain relevant, they will need to embrace new technologies, focus on skills like complex problem-solving that AI cannot yet match, and reinvent their roles in the changing healthcare system.

The evolution of artificial intelligence in the workplace
Since the first appearance of the words “artificial intelligence” more than 60 years ago, our imaginations have been sparked. Imagine creating computers that simulate human intelligence.
AI has the potential to profoundly influence our lives, perhaps to the point when our world can be better understood and even predicted. In workplaces we can develop systems through which AI may evolve. And Konica Minolta is progressing with the concept of intelligent hubs which will provide businesses with insight, support and greater collaboration.
By combining our core technologies with transformative solutions in the digital workplace, we’re evolving to become a problem-solving digital company creating new value for people and society.

Must Libraries Fully Engage with Web 2.0 Without Discernment? The Science Business Case
According some professional magazines, Scientists are leader of the Web 2.0 pack. Many online services appeared on the market for a few years and these technologies would reshape the future of research and science communication. But, at the time being, it is not obvious whether Scientists have really embraced these new services on their daily routine, as the adoption seems to be low. The question for science libraries is to know f they have to invest on wikis and other blogs. How can they choose appropriate tools among dozens of web 2.0's applications? Is it so critical to maintain a presence on social networks? Libraries strategy must consider real impact of web 2.0 in their specific environment before to engage their energy and time.

Artificial Intelligence as the Technosubject of Hybrid Society. Ignatyev V.I ...eraser Juan José Calderón
This document discusses artificial intelligence as a new type of subject called a "technosubject" in society. It argues that as AI machines become more complex and autonomous, gaining abilities like self-programming and goal-setting, they take on characteristics of subjecthood. Two potential outcomes are discussed: 1) AI completely substitutes for humans and forms a new "technosociety"; or 2) a "hybrid society" emerges based on symbiosis between humans and AI technosubjects, forming new bio-cybernetic humans and AI agents. Current examples of emerging technosubjects include robots, algorithms, intelligent devices and systems. Over time, further development of AI could challenge human existence and role in society.What’S All The Buzzafsme

Many online services appeared on the market for a few years and these technologies would reshape the future of research and science communication. But, at the time being, it is not obvious whether Scientists have really embraced these new services on their daily routine, as the adoption seems to be low. The question for science libraries is to know f they have to invest on wikis and other blogs. How can they choose appropriate tools among dozens of web 2.0's applications? Is it so critical to maintain a presence on social networks? Libraries strategy must consider real impact of web 2.0 in their specific environment before to engage their energy and time.

Artificial Intelligence as the Technosubject of Hybrid Society. Ignatyev V.I ...
Artificial Intelligence as the Technosubject of Hybrid Society. Ignatyev V.I ...eraser Juan José Calderón
This document discusses artificial intelligence as a new type of subject called a "technosubject" in society. It argues that as AI machines become more complex and autonomous, gaining abilities like self-programming and goal-setting, they take on characteristics of subjecthood. Two potential outcomes are discussed: 1) AI completely substitutes for humans and forms a new "technosociety"; or 2) a "hybrid society" emerges based on symbiosis between humans and AI technosubjects, forming new bio-cybernetic humans and AI agents. Current examples of emerging technosubjects include robots, algorithms, intelligent devices and systems. Over time, further development of AI could challenge human existence and role in society.What’S All The Buzzafsme
What's All The Buzz?: Do you continue to hear technology terms like IM, Blogging, Podcasting, WiKi, Web 2.0, and others? Millions of these technology entities are being created each month. What are they and how might they be used in an educational setting?

in a minimum of a 1–2 essay using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page).
Scenario:
Sam Trudeau owned a busy veterinary hospital. Two receptionists “manned” the front desk at all times. Their responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, collect payments on services rendered, and various other duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form of cash, checks, and charge cards.
A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s shift, the phones seemed to be ringing non-stop, clients were backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr. Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was $25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr. Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one was generated.
At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be re-filed. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate the paperwork, so there was $25.00 in the cash drawer that had no paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way home and was short cash, so he took the $25.00 out of the drawer, meaning to pay it back.
The next day, no one had noticed the $25.00 was missing, and Mr. Ordine’s file was re-filed. Sam considered the plusses and minuses of putting the $25.00 back in the drawer, and creating the paperwork for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing him to just keep the $25.00. After all, it was not that much money and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay taxes on it anyway.
Respond to the checklist items below in a minimum of a 1–2 page response using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page).
1) Explain the ethical considerations from the Consequentialist (choose one: ethical egoism, act utilitarianism, or rule utilitarianism) and Non-consequentialist (choose one: Divine command, or Categorical imperative) or one of the Virtue ethics viewpoints. You should therefore present a total of two viewpoints concerning the scenario above.
2) Explain the strength of one of your viewpoints chosen for #1 and the corresponding weakness with regards to this scenario and the decision made by Sam Trudeau.
3) Describe what you think the effect will be on the other personnel at the hospital upon an auditor discovering this situation.
4) Discuss how Sam Trudeau should approach the situation using your chosen ethical perspective and explain why and ho.

Scenario
In Part I of the assignment, Chuck House and Ben Holmes created a business they called House & Holmes Facilities Management. At the time, Chuck and Ben were the only employees. By the end of the second year, House & Holmes hired two additional full-time employees and paid a few temporary laborers as needed for certain maintenance jobs.
Chuck and one of the temporary laborers, Steve, were carrying an old cast iron bathtub through a customer’s house when the homeowner’s dog ran under Steve’s feet, causing him to lose his balance and drop his end of the tub. Unable to control the tub, Steve dropped his end of the tub causing it to knock over a flat screen television that shattered on the floor. The tub left scratches in the wood floors. Steve tore his rotator cuff in the fall and was unable to work for two months. Ryan, the customer, was upset about his television.
House & Holmes owns three trucks and one van, each registered to the business. The vehicles advertise the company’s name, phone number and website. Jason, one of the full-time employees, drives one of the trucks home at night when he is on call for emergency repairs. One night Jason stopped off at Hillside Tavern to have a couple of beers before going home. On the way home, Jason swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a car driven by Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine’s car sustained $4,500 in damages and she missed three days of work recovering from her injuries.
Regions Bank loaned $20,000 to House & Holmes. Chuck, Ben and their friend Phil agreed to be co-sureties for the loan. The handyman business defaulted on the loan and Regions Bank plans to sue Phil for payment of the loan.
House & Holmes agreed to install a new air conditioning unit and an outdoor kitchen in a luxury home on the beach. The parties agreed to a price of $9,500 for the purchase and installation of the air conditioning unit and outdoor kitchen. Chuck agreed to let the homeowner pay for the work in installments of $2000 a month. Two months later, the homeowner filed for bankruptcy. Chuck demanded payment of the remaining amount due or threatened to repos.

Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled.
Scenario
John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital.
The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours."
Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time.
In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions.
Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smith told John to recommend that the operational systems were good enough and that the hospital should build a new wing for additional ER exam rooms and hire more physicians.
Interrupting Dr. Smith, John said, "The hospital has a very limited capital budget and no funds have been allocated for build.

Read the following and then answer the questions at the bottom
The IT staff at Texas Health Resources Inc. must deliver more than technical functionality. And it needs to deliver more than the business requirements; it also has to meet the organization’s ethical standards.
To that end, its systems must help ensure that Texas Health complies with laws and regulations. And they also have to promote the right behaviors and prevent or flag undesirable ones, says Micheal Alverson, vice president and deputy chief information officer at the Arlington-based nonprofit health care system. Consider the challenge of handling patients’ medical records. Even though the federal Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act mandates that agencies keep those records private, caregivers still need to access them—when appropriate.
So the organization’s electronic health records system “gives doctors and nurses who are caring directly for patients quick access when they use the right authentication,” Alverson says. But additional authentication is required to get records for patients who aren’t under the provider’s immediate care. The system records who gets access to what, allowing officials to audit and review cases to ensure there’s no inappropriate access.
“the IT staff holds itself to similar ethical standards, too,” Alverson says. The department has policies that prohibit taking gifts and endorsing vendors, to help guarantee that workers make procurement decisions only based on quality and needs. And when there’s any question—such as when a vendor proposes a deep discount if Texas Health agrees to be an early adopter of a new technology—IT leaders can turn to the system wide Business and Ethics Council for guidance.
“If we really want everyone to subscribe to the idea that working at Texas Health is special, then we have to have people actively believe in doing the right thing,” Alverson says.
Companies are increasingly looking at their ethics policies and articulating specific values that address a range of issues, from community commitment to environmental sustainability, which employees can use to guide their work. The need to comply with federal laws and regulations drives some of this, while consumer expectations, employee demands, and economic pressures also play a part.
Information technology consultant Dena L. Smith lays out a hypothetical dilemma: should an IT department hire a more expensive vendor because the vendor shares its own company’s ethics standards, or should it go with a lower cost provider that doesn’t?
Companies with established ethical standards that guide how they conduct business frequently confront this kind of question, Smith says, but it’s a particularly tough question today, given the recession,. With IT departments forced to cut budgets and staff, chief information officers will find it difficult to allocate dollars for applications that promote corporate ethics.
“The decisions are easier in the days when the e.

Read the complete description of the Oral History Interview Final Paper due in this class. Here in Week Four, you must submit a draft of this paper. The draft should include an introduction, thesis, the information you provided in the Interview Description you submitted in Week Two, and be at least three to five pages in length (plus a title page and a reference page) at this time. The draft must utilize the course text and at least three scholarly sources, at least one of which you obtained from preliminary research in the Ashford University Library. The draft must be in paragraph form, properly formatted in APA style, and include an updated reference list of sources you intend to use in the final paper.
Final Paper: Oral History Interview Paper
Throughout the course, you will be exploring various aspects of culture and intercultural communications. Your final assignment in this course will be to
conduct an extensive oral history interview with a person who is somewhat older than you and from a culture or subgroup that you are not a member of.
This person can be a relative or acquaintance who is from a different generation. It can be someone who immigrated to this country either recently or some time ago. Or, it can be someone who belongs to a different subgroup from you and whose cultural experiences you believe would be very different from your own. Obtain permission from the person you are interviewing to record the conversation (either an audio or a video and audio recording) or to take handwritten notes during the interview.
Your overarching goals during the oral history interview are as follows:
To learn more about the culture and subcultures to which your interview subject belongs.
To determine what issues they encountered in terms of intercultural communications.
To relate concepts you have studied in this course to the experiences of this person.
After you have conducted the interview, review your recording or your notes and write a six- to eight-page paper (excluding a title page and a reference page), in which you discuss aspects of this person's culture and/or subcultures and communication issues related to his or her cultural identity. In the paper, you must also include the following:
The name of the person and his or her relationship to you.
The interview subject's cultural background and the culture and/or subcultures to which he or she belongs.
At least six questions from the following list. You may add additional questions or other questions not on this list, if you wish. Remember, though, that the focus of your paper must be on intercultural communication issues.
How far back in time can the person remember? What is his or her first childhood memory? (Consider how it reflects the interview subject's culture or subculture?)
What does the person remember of the experience of being an immigrant or a subgroup member in that time?
Which impressions or experiences from that time are most vivid to him or her today?
If he or sh.

CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services of.
