Ethics of AI

 Ethical considerations in artificial intelligence are a broad subject, close to the whole field. Its subitems particularly hold specific ethical stakes. Those include algorithmic biases, fairness, automated decision-making accountability, privacy, and regulation.

 This also includes various new or potential future challenges such as how to design machines that behave ethically, lethal autonomous weapon systems, arms race dynamics, AI safety and alignment, technological unemployment, AI-enabled misinformation, how to treat certain AI systems if they have a moral status (AI welfare and rights), artificial superintelligence, and existential risks.


ETHICAL CHALLENGES OF AI:
Ethical problems of AI : If the AI system does not collect data that represents the population fairly, then decisions are susceptible to bias.In 2018, Amazon was under fire from its AI-recruiting tool that downgraded resumes containing "women" such as "Women's International Business Society" in it. Essentially, the AI tool discriminated against women, and thus exposed the tech giant to law risk.

AI and privacy
As discussed earlier with the example above using Lensa AI, AI relies on data pulled from internet searches, social media photos and comments, online purchases and much more. This helps personalize the customer experience though there's a question about the apparent lack of true consent for these companies to access our personal information.

AI and the environment
Some AI models are large and require significant amounts of energy to train on data. While research is being done to devise methods for energy-efficient AI, more could be done to incorporate environmental ethical concerns into AI-related policies.

Exploring IOT

INTERNET OF THINGS:  The Internet of Things is the interconnection through the internet of computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, vehicles, appliances, other types of hardware and sensory units that can be accessed remotely for purposes of controlling them or retrieving sensed data. IOT device are "smart objects" for short are as simple "smart home" features, such as smart thermostats, to wearable items such as smartwatches or even RFID-enabled clothing to complex industrial machinery and transportation systems. Even visionary technologists foresee entire "smart cities" based on IoT technologies. IoT lets these intelligent gadgets communicate with each other and other internet-connected devices. Like in smartphones and gateways, it forms an extraordinary network of interconnected devices that can be shared and perform myriads of operations without any kind of human interference. This includes: monitoring the environmental conditions in the far...

Blockchain

Image
Blockchain is a distributed, immutable ledger that allows recording transactions as well as tracking assets in a business network.  Business runs on information. The faster and more accurate the information becomes, the better. Because of this, blockchain is ideal for providing the information: immediate, shared, and observable in an immutable ledger that only permissioned network members can access.  A blockchain network can track orders, payments, accounts, production and much more. And because members share a single view of the truth, you can see all details of a transaction end to end, giving you greater confidence, and new efficiencies and opportunities. Key elements of a blockchain: Distributed ledger technology  Immutable records      How blockchain works: As each transaction occurs, it is recorded as a “block” of data Each block is connected to the ones before and after it Transactions are blocked together in an irreversible chain: a blockchain Bene...
