4. Goals of Artificial Intelligence
   - Make computer systems more useful
   “Computer scientists and engineers”
   - Understand the principles that make intelligence possible
   “ Psychologists, linguists, and philosophers”

5. What makes Artificial Intelligence a moral
   issue?
   - Human welfare ( physical safety)
   - Justice (equality)
   - Rights (private life, anonymity)
   - Duties
   - Ethical problems in Artificial Intelligence can be divided into 3 main
   sections:
   - Information
   - Control
   - Reasoning

6. What makes Artificial Intelligence a moral
   issue?
   - 1. Information
   Computer systems store information in
   databases. Management of information
   and communication between these
   systems could threaten private life, liberty
   or dignity of users

7. What makes Artificial Intelligence a moral
   issue?
   - 2. Control applications - Robotics
   Common problem of classical engineering: Guaranteeing personal safety and
   taking responsibility with the environment.
   Universal laws stating rules about behaviour between robots and humans
   … Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics?

8. What makes Artificial Intelligence a moral
   issue?
   - 2. Control applications -
   Robotics: Asimov three rules of
   robotics
   (xkcd: Why Asimov put the Three
   Laws of Robotics in the order he did)

9. What makes Artificial Intelligence a moral
   issue?
   - 3. Autonomous Reasoning
   Idea: computer systems taking decision by themselves.
   Problem: Trusting these intelligent systems.
   Examples:
   - Medical diagnosis by symptoms
   - Self-driving cars
   - Natural Language processing

10. Autonomous Reasoning
    - Ethical problems
    Computers have no consciousness
    ❖ They cannot take responsibility of
    their actions.
    ❖ Are the creators responsible? The
    company in charge?

11. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
    - Definition
    “AGI is a field aiming at the building of “thinking machines”; that is,
    general-purpose systems with intelligence comparable to that of the human
    mind (and perhaps ultimately well beyond human general intelligence).”
    - AGI society (http://www.agi-society.org/)
    - AGI systems would not only get rights, but also they would want to have rights.

12. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
    Equality problems:
    - Could AGI systems work for humans?
    - Would not they become slaves?
    - Do we have the right to turn off a conscious computer system?
    Trust:
    - Autonomous doctor, autonomous judge

13. Conclusion
    - The field of Artificial Intelligence
    wants to create something that is
    not really understood: intelligence
    - Current AI ethics problems are quite
    undefined.
    - Everyday new controversial and
    polarizing discussions are held
    around usage of AI in the future.
    - We can not think about Artificial
    Intelligence without ethics.
