AI in Decision-Making and Governance:
AI and machines are increasingly aiding human decision-making in governance by analyzing complex patterns and offering informed recommendations.
AI regulations are being introduced globally to ensure responsible AI use.
Biases in AI, originating from biased data or developers' perspectives, pose challenges in decision-making.
Ethics and AI in Governance:
Applying Immanuel Kant's ethical philosophy to AI in governance raises concerns about moral reasoning and responsibility.
Isaac Asimov's 'Three Laws of Robotics' highlights challenges in codifying ethics into AI rules.
Despite challenges, AI's integration into governance is inevitable, raising questions about maintaining ethical decision-making.
Complexity of Programming Ethics into AI:
Programming ethical behavior into AI is more challenging than simpler tasks like playing chess.
Ethical categories for machine agents include ethical impact agents, implicit ethical agents, explicit ethical agents, and full ethical agents.
Full ethical agents are capable of making and justifying ethical judgments, but creating them is complex.
Challenges and Limitations of AI Ethics:
Machines as ethical agents face limitations in handling complex, unpredictable, or unclear ethical scenarios.
Bounded ethicality, where machines may engage in immoral behavior based on framing, poses concerns.
Questions arise about accountability when AI-driven decisions result in immoral or unethical outcomes.
Liability and Accountability:
Determining responsibility for AI-driven decisions is challenging, as AI lacks the capacity for guilt or suffering.
The accountability of AI developers and officials who rely on AI's data becomes a complex issue.
Governments must carefully consider the ethical complexities of programming AI and proceed cautiously.
