Problem: Ethical Dilemmas of Automated Technologies Paper
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Select an ethical dilemma within a topic area
Describe your personal interest in the selected ethical dilemma
List any potential problems related to the ethical dilemma
• List any questions you have about the ethical dilemma
Under each topic, there are provocative ethical questions to spark your analysis and reflection.
• Automated Technologies
Consider:
How are artificial intelligence (AI) machines programmed to respond to real-world scenarios? Are there inherent biases which are also programmed? Are there ethical problems that could be challenges and opportunities if AI surpasses human intelligence and capabilities?
• When autonomous technologies like cars are programmed to respond to real-world problems (like pedestrians) are there inherent ethical conflicts (for example: should autonomous cars be programmed to act in a utilitarian manner?)?
When autonomous technologies like robots are used by the military to kill enemy combatants, are there ethical problems which arise? How should such killer robots be programmed with ethics in mind? Are there inherent biases which might pose ethical problems?
