Why Protecting the Environment Matters?

Reducing AI’s impact on the environment is important because it:
u Saves natural resources like water, coal, and oil
u Reduces air pollution and global warming

u Promotes the use of clean and renewable energy
u Creates awareness about sustainable living
u Makes AI a tool for helping, not harming, the planet

Ethical Dilemma

An ethical dilemma is a situation in which a person faces a choice between conflicting moral principles or values.
It often involves tough decisions where there are competing interests or where doing what is considered right may result
in undesirable outcomes. Ethical dilemmas can arise in various contexts, such as in personal relationships, professional
settings, or societal issues. Resolving ethical dilemmas requires thoughtful consideration of the consequences of
different actions and balancing conflicting ethical concerns.
Example:
u Scenario: You work for a pharmaceutical company developing a new drug to treat a rare disease. During clinical
trials, it becomes evident that the drug is effective in treating the disease, but it also has significant side effects in a
small percentage of patients. The company is under pressure to release the drug quickly due to the urgent need for
treatment, but there are concerns about the potential harm caused by the side effects.

u Ethical Dilemma: On one hand, releasing the drug could provide relief to patients suffering from the rare disease,
potentially saving lives, and improving quality of life. On the other hand, there’s a risk of causing harm to patients due
to the side effects, which could lead to serious health complications or even fatalities.

AI REBOOT

Answer the following questions:
1. Write about one of the biggest challenges in AI.

2. A data scientist favours datasets gathered from Indians rather than sampling from a range of populations
around the globe. Name this type of bias.

3. ChatGPT falsely created a sexual harassment scandal involving a law professor, claiming he was accused
of making inappropriate comments and touching a student during a class trip to Alaska. An email informed
the professor that ChatGPT had listed him in a Washington Post article. However, upon investigation, it was
found that the article did not exist, and the professor had never taken such a trip or faced such accusations.
This incident highlights how easily AI can generate convincing falsehoods, raising awareness about the
limitations of AI technology and the need for caution in believing potentially damaging fabrications. What
was the source of this bias?
