For questions on ethical issues related to AI. Questions may be concrete, such as ethical/unethical applications, or metaphysical, such as "will automata develop their own ethics?"
Obviously, self-driving cars aren't perfect, so imagine that the Google car (as an example) got into a difficult situation.
Here are a few examples of unfortunate situations caused by a set of events:
The car is heading toward a crowd of 10 people…
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is concerned with the development of techniques that can enhance the interpretability, accountability, and transparency of artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning algorithms and models,…
I note this question was deemed off-topic, so I'm trying to clearly frame this question in terms of scope of response I'm interested in, namely ethics and sustainability issues associated with the soon-to-be proliferation of OpenAI Chat GPT types of…
Assuming humans had finally developed the first humanoid AI based on the human brain, would It feel emotions? If not, would it still have ethics and/or morals?
There has been recent uptick in interest in eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Here is XAI's mission as stated on its DARPA page:
The Explainable AI (XAI) program aims to create a suite of machine learning techniques that:

I am a PhD student in computer science, and currently creating a state of the art overview in applications done in Machine Ethics (a multidisciplinary field combining philosophy and AI, that looks at creating explicit ethical programs or agents). It…
This is not meant to be negative or a joke but rather looking for a productive solution on AI development, engineering and its impact on human life:
Lately with my Google searches, the AI model keeps auto filling the ending of my searches…
If a conscious AI is possible, would it also be possible for someone who knows what they are doing to torture (or hurt) the AI? Could this be avoided? How?
This question deals with computer-based AI, not robots, which are as conscious as people…
There have been a lot of popular AI-generating image systems put out recently, with such systems as Midjourney and Dall-E catching attention with how well put-together many of the automatically generated images are.
However, there has been a lot of…
Would it be ethical to allow an AI to make life-or-death medical decisions?
For instance, where there an insufficient number of ventilators during a respiratory pandemic, not every patient can have one. It seems like a straight forward question,…
It is a new era and people are trying to evolve more in science and technology. Artificial Intelligent is one of the ways to achieve this. We have seen lots of examples for AI sequences or a simple "communication AI" that are able to think by…
Greedy algorithms are well known, and although useful in a local context for certain problems, and even potentially find general, global optimal solutions, they nonetheless trade optimality for shorter-term payoffs.
This seems to me a good analogue…
Let's suppose there are two AGIs, $A$ and $B$. Assume that $B$ has the ability to modify $A$, but this action of modifying is considered bad by $B$. Can $A$ ever convince $B$ to modify $A$?
The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations describe a normative framework which states what future development until 2030 should strive for. On a more abstract level a basic definition describes sustainable development as
development…
According to Wikipedia Artificial general intelligence(AGI)
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the intelligence of a
(hypothetical) machine that could successfully perform any
intellectual task that a human being can.
According to the…
