From where do computer forecasting systems collect data?
Ethics in Artificial Intelligence
AI ethics is a set of moral principles and practices designed to support the development and responsible use of AI
technology. As AI becomes an indispensable part of products and services, companies have begun to develop AI ethics
guidelines. The aim is to guide stakeholders when faced with ethical dilemmas while using AI.
Case 1: The Biased Hiring Tool
Sakshi is excited about applying for a software engineering
position at a top tech company. She has all the qualifications
and experience needed for the role. Unknown to her, the
company uses an AI tool to screen applicants. The AI, trained
on a decade of resumes mostly from men, has a hidden bias
against women. As a result, Sakshi’s application is not rated
properly, ranking lower than those of less qualified male
candidates. Despite her skills and experience, she never
gets a call for an interview. The company missed a talented
candidate, and Sakshi is left wondering what went wrong.
Due to biased judgment of AI, a deserving candidate is left out. Think, is it fair to depend totally on an AI tool or, if we
are depending on it, is it giving us fair results?
Case 2: The Autonomous Car’s Dilemma
Ritesh owns an autonomous car manufactured by “NEWAR”
cars that promises safety and convenience. One rainy night,
the car encounters an unexpected obstacle on the road.
It must make a split-second decision: swerve onto a busy
sidewalk or stay on course and risk a collision with a dog.
The AI has been programmed to minimise harm, but in this
scenario, there is no perfect solution. Ritesh, a bystander,
and the other driver all face potential danger due to the AI’s
decision-making limitations.
Who do you think is wrong in the given case? Is it Ritesh owner of the autonomous car, the NEWAR car manufacturing
company, the technician who designed the car, or the bystanders for being on the road?
