What are the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence?

27
•
Though artificial intelligence is changing how businesses work, there are concerns about how it may influence our lives. This is not just an academic or a societal concern but a reputational risk for companies, no company wants to be marred with data or AI ethics scandals that impact companies like Amazon. For example, there was significant backlash due to the sale of Rekognition to law enforcement. This was followed by Amazon’s decision to stop providing this technology to law enforcement for a year since they anticipated the proper legal framework to be in place by then.

@qudsia_ali I envision to strike the right balance between AI progress and responsibility, for which I will abide by robust ethical frameworks while continously monitoring for bias, and transparent data practices. I believe with regular ethical assessments and collaboration with diverse stakeholders we can enure that innovation aligns with societal values and safeguards privacy.
The ethical dimensions of AI highlight the need for ongoing ethical evaluations. Companies should proactively mitigate biases and protect user privacy to maintain societal trust.

Agree. AI algorithms can be complex and opaque, making it difficult to understand how they arrive at specific decisions. This lack of transparency raises concerns about who is responsible for AI-driven actions and how to ensure accountability.
Qudsia Ali
@tranggpham You're right on the money there. The complexity of AI can sometimes feel like peering into a mystery box, right? The transparency gap raises important questions about accountability. It's like solving a puzzle where everyone's looking for the missing piece.

- Information leak (especially public gen ai's accessible to everyone) - Cybercrime rates - Potential takeover of assets (stems from Job takeover/replacement), what if the "ai automation" slowly takes over the board, investors and executives as well? (far-fetched but seem like a potential).
