How To Deal With The Ethical Risks Brought By Artificial Intelligence?
How will we encourage the development of artificial intelligence while protecting people
Can artificial intelligence coexist peacefully with mankind? How will we encourage the development of artificial intelligence while protecting people's work and social stability? These issues have always been a hot topic of discussion in the academic community.
Standardize the use and management of artificial intelligence
With the continuous development of human society and the renewal of technology, more and more machines are replacing humans with work, which is the trend of human society development. Since the emergence of artificial intelligence technology, many scholars have been reminding everyone to adapt to this change.
Derek Francis, a lecturer at the University of Leeds in the UK, told reporters that artificial intelligence can help people get rid of some repetitive, high-intensity or dangerous tasks in the past, which is a blessing for the development of science and technology. What people are currently worried about is the unpredictable creativity of artificial intelligence. For example, the future development of creative thinking of artificial intelligence may make it evolve faster and no longer be controlled by humans.
In view of this, human society has begun to take action to deal with the possible threats brought by artificial intelligence. It is understood that in order to regulate the use and management of artificial intelligence and robots, the European Parliament recommended that the European Commission draft relevant bills for the first time in 2017. Maria, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Social Affairs, said the EU will release a strategic document on artificial intelligence that will outline legal issues that artificial intelligence technology may raise, aiming to eliminate social occupation of robots. Worries about the job. She said that some EU member states already have outstanding levels of experience in the field of artificial intelligence research, but if the member states fight on their own, the EU will not be able to gain a global leading position in this field. Meanwhile, she called on EU member states to work hard to cooperate in response to competition with countries such as the United States.
Carry out research on artificial intelligence ethics
Roger Moore, a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield, UK, has been conducting research on computers and artificial intelligence since the mid-1990s, and has set up a website to discuss artificial intelligence issues.
Regarding the current moral and ethical problems of artificial intelligence, Moore believes that, first, artificial intelligence and other inventions face ethical problems. What we need is to solve these problems, not to be afraid of them. Second, artificial intelligence will not take advantage of people's ignorance, humans will not make mistakes, and artificial intelligence will not make them. Third, artificial intelligence has only accelerated cultural development. Artificial intelligence is not as special as many people think, and it promotes the development of human cultural phenomena that are accelerating. Human culture is changing all aspects of the earth, especially human society. Human culture has evolved into a super intelligent machine.
In his book "Artificial Intelligence and Prosocial Behavior", Moore expressed the view that the current development and changes in human society are not entirely caused by artificial intelligence. But artificial intelligence, especially machine learning, plays an increasingly important role in social development and can promote social science research, including disciplines such as political science, economics, psychology, anthropology and marketing.
In order to cope with the ethical risks brought by artificial intelligence, Moore put forward the following suggestions: First, artificial intelligence should abide by existing laws and regulations; second, when designing artificial intelligence products, it is necessary to ensure its safety; finally, do a good job in artificial intelligence After-sales service of smart products.
Moore said that understanding human behavior may be the biggest advantage of artificial intelligence, which can help people find ways to reduce conflict and survive sustainably. However, he also raised some shortcomings of artificial intelligence, such as some consumers may be addicted to artificial intelligence products or services, and users' privacy is not guaranteed.
