Understanding AI Ethics
Artificial Intelligence Ethics can be defined as a set of values, principles and techniques which
can be applied in the development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence technologies to
guide the moral conduct of a machine towards right and wrong.
The AI code of ethics also called the AI value platform is a policy statement that defines the
role of Artificial Intelligence.
Need of AI Ethics
The need of AI Ethics is to define ownership. It also involves the moral behaviour of humans
as they design, create, use and treat artificially intelligent systems. We need national and
international regulatory frameworks to ensure that AI benefits humanity as a whole. We need
to develop human-centered AI for the greater interest of people.
UNESCO proposes the development of a comprehensive global standard-setting instrument to
provide AI with a strong ethical basis that will not only protect but also promote human rights
and human dignity. If adopted, it will be an ethical guiding compass and a global normative
bedrock allowing to build a strong respect for the rule of law in the digital world.
Brainy Fact
A robot built in the late 1990s called Kismet could recognise emotions through human body
language and voice tone.
Ethical Issues with AI
Let us now understand different ethical issues related to AI.
Unemployment
Will AI replace human workers? The fact
remains that the jobs once done by humans
are now done by machines much more
efficiently and cost effectively. It is clear that
the development of AI would replace some
jobs completely from the market. This has
always been the case with the invention of
a new technology, for example, typewriters
were replaced by the invention of computers, taxis replaced manual rickshaws.
