Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Ethics

Abstract

<p>AI is everywhere around us and affecting our lives in many ways, some of which we may not even be aware of. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of AI and its impact upon society. The authors, Peter, and Laura are both disabled which means that, inevitably, they view AI and the ethical issues which it brings, through the lens of disabled people. However, they try as much as they can to discuss the ethical issues around AI in an unbiased manner. This commentary starts by introducing the concept of AI, the authors and their disabilities, the meanings of ethics and goes on to discuss the ethical issues which Peter and Laura see in their day-to-day lives. They then drawfromthe literature on AI and ethics to broaden the discussion to take account of current published work by others on the topic. Finally, they return to their own perspectives and conclude that AI offers many advantages to society and our future. However, they also warn of the dangers and ethical challenges which AI raises. It is hoped that this commentary frames a contribution to the field of AI and ethics which readers will find interesting, useful and, perhaps, challenging.</p> <p> </p>
