Crucial Ethical Keys of Artificial Intelligence

Beschreibung

“Artificial intelligence must be put at the service of human purposes. Crucial Ethical Keys of Artificial Intelligence provides accurate information and profound reflections on the emergence of this phenomenon, which is both promising and disturbing. This book not only discusses its applications in various fields of human life, such as education, social relations, and politics, but also ambitiously addresses the questions AI raises to help us better understand what it means to be human.”

—José Ignacio Murillo, Full Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Mind-Brain Group of ICS (Institute for Culture and Society), University of Navarra, Spain

“This book provides a very pluralistic and balanced view of the current debates about AI. It also demonstrates how classical philosophy can shed light on them. It is extremely clear and informative.”

—Alfredo Marcos, Full Professor of Philosophy of Science, University of Valladolid, Spain

This book analyses the most crucial ethical keys of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Society at large (and academia in particular) is in need of ethical references to face the new, emerging challenges born out of the rapidly evolving technological landscape. New forms of AI are being developed very quickly, and its presence is expanding rapidly into a range of disciplinary fields—from medicine to law to education, and beyond. This raises doubts about the legitimacy of its indiscriminate use, which are aggravated by the detection of misuse—for example, in the case of Deep Fakes, use of AI by students to complete their coursework, and so on. On the other hand, there are of course positive and useful possibilities that had not before been imagined, for example in creativity and in the improvement of bioengineering possibilities. However, the question remains as to whether our society is ready to use the endless possibilities of AI in favour of people. Ethical references are needed to help regulate the use of AI within trusted environments, to have a positive impact on our modern society. This book aims to meet that need.
