THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: DRAWING A BORDERLINE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG
Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the ethical borderlines in the use of artificial intelligence.
The work looked into the philosophy behind the technology of artificial intelligence. To achieve
this, the areas of privacy and data security, whether artificial intelligence possesses ethical
consciousness, and the limitations of intelligence in machines were basically probed into. This
enabled the research to come to terms with the ethical predicaments in the involvement of artificial
intelligence in human lives. Artificial Intelligence, thereby raising moral concerns, the crux of the
matter in the work hinged on checking for the ethical borderlines humans grapple with in the
employment of artificial intelligence ranging from privacy and data security, bias and fairness in
algorithms, accountability and responsibility in autonomous systems, the impact of machines on
human dignity and the dilemma in the decision-making processes in the use of artificial
intelligence. By the employment of the analytic method, the work examined key concepts
concerning the matter at hand by reducing the vagueness and ambiguity therein.
