Study Notes
- In 2023, a self-driving Tesla in Arizona hit and killed a woman who was assisting at the scene of a highway collision, the driver was held responsible.
- Artificial Intelligence should not be trusted to make equally critical moral decisions as AI is not equipped with the compassion, empathy and accountability that society needs.
Risks of Relying on AI for Ethical Choices
- Relying on machines to make ethically driven choices risks losing our moral compass.
- AI does not adjust its behavior by adhering to ethical norms.
- AI's inability to distinguish between right and wrong leads to irresponsible or immoral decisions.
- Without the constant practice of ethics, values and morals can become unfamiliar.
- A world overly reliant on AI risks humans becoming more machine-like.
Legal Repercussions of AI
- Implementing legal repercussions for AI decisions is near-impossible.
- Laws are difficult to apply when decisions are made by technology rather than people, creating accountability challenges.
- The question arises of who is responsible for errors, complications, or patient death when AI-driven machines make critical treatment decisions.
- There are serious gray areas in legal systems, and true justice may become impossible to achieve.
- Without appropriate reprimands for crimes, the fundamentals of legal systems are lost.
Societal Impact of Delegating Moral Decisions to AI
- Delegating moral decisions to AI creates legal problems and risks losing our obligation to show concern for others.
- Decisions are not determined by objective but rather subjective understandings of right and wrong.
- The trolley problem illustrates how moral decisions impact society and are more complicated than a robot applying a predetermined algorithm.
- Autonomous cars with crash algorithms bring the trolley problem to life.
- AI lacks human empathy in life-or-death scenarios.
- AI notoriously fails in capturing societal values.
- AI simulations improve outcomes in critical situations.
- Even in situations where autonomous vehicles should thrive in pre-meditated decisions, they simply don’t have the abilities to assess nuanced moral dilemmas.
- The actions of human drivers are considered more morally justifiable than the corresponding actions of autonomous vehicles.
Conclusion
- Policy makers need to adopt an ethical framework which will consider the philosophical, social and practical dimensions of issues this will cause.
- There is a risk of surrendering justice, moral compass, and humanity itself to machines if action is not taken.
