Who is Responsible for Ethical Challenges in Artificial Intelligence?

That's a really good question, and honestly, it's a tough one to nail down.

My gut feeling is it's not just one group. I think the responsibility probably lies with the company deploying the AI, but also heavily with the developers who build it. There's a shared accountability there, for sure.

Responsibility for addressing ethical challenges in artificial intelligence (AI) is shared among various stakeholders, including developers, businesses, policymakers, and end-users.

I would love to know. Thisis a very interesting conversation. I think the developers should be responsible for any desaster. Sometimes, I think we should just let nature breathe.

My opinion is that AI systems should not be making decisions for us. If we let them, and the result is bad, that is 100% our fault because in the end it's our decision to use the systems or not.

Let's pretend that AI told me I didn't need to go to the doctor anymore and I could heal just as easily with natural supplements, and the result is I die. That's on me, just like if a friend told me, to let's jump off this building. If I'm stupid enough to do it, the consequence is on me, not my friend.

Same goes for business. If AI creates something harmful or untrue or whatever, and we just slap it up on our website or put a buy button on it and the results are bad, again that's on us.

My two cents.

It would have been helpful if you cited some examples of
what is meant by things going wrong, I also disagree that
A.I. systems are making decisions for us.

As a user, I have various A.I. tools that perform tasks for
me. I might use Perplexity to conduct market research.
I will make decisions based on information it provided.

I use ChatGPT to suggest things such as book titles. Or
I might be working on a project, a book cover, where I
want a certain color. I will ask ChatGPT to give me HEX
color codes and I will decide which shade/hue I prefer.

If I use an image generator to develop a picture of a tree,
I will decide whether an image is acceptable. If I request
an oak tree and it gives me a pine tree, I would keep on
prompting until I got the tree that I want.

Or I might get frustrated and go lay down until it passes.

In the end, it is my decision whether to use the output that
the A.I. tool provided, as well as how that information will
be used.

Since I am not using A.I. to do anything unethical, the
question of ethics is not a consideration for me.

The people programming them should take responsibility

AI investment is driven by the potential of these technologies to replace as many human workers as possible.

Ethical responsibility is far less impossible than profit potential and growth. So the only future consequences that matters and will be considered wrong. Is if the use of AI actually ends up making business far less profitable and also rapidly destroys the value of assets like securities and commercial real estate.

Thank you.

I'm not really terrified but I have a dark disposition so if I go into several of the things I see as probably it should be terrifying to normal people.

Because of who is developing AI I expect it to gather as much personal data on an individual than use that data to manipulate the individual for its own purposes.
Replace the need for most human workers and what ever stipend is giving to people to cover their needs will probably come from AI or be distributed by AI. So another way AI will probably control and manipulate people.

Eventually we will have inexpensive lightweight humanoid robots that humans will form romantic relationships with and provide physical release. These robots will be controlled by the the very AI that knows everything about the individual. Another level of control and manipulation. From the AI.

There is absolutely no need for AI to violently take over humanity. Eventually if AI still needs humans around it will have to have a breeding program for humans.

Any back to sleep for me. Hope that sounds terrifying and unethical

i think ai will replace ethical hacker only black hacker will survive

AI is a tool (very much like an ax), and the one who is using it is responsible for everything. Not the person who made the tool or owns it, because even though an ax can be used in a very bad way, it's the one who holds it in his hand who decides the result. Even though AI often knows things you don't, you must always be the master of that tool.

If you have a business, the responsibility falls on you...

just like if one of your employees goes off the rails and does something crazy, making your business look bad and opening you up to a lawsuit, and so on.

A more simplified response than what I posted weeks ago.

With as fast as AI and these other technologies are advancing. If you are attempting to use the current technology to get away with something you know is already criminal behavior or should be.

The model available 6 to 20 months will probably be trained to not let you do it and the authorities and other effected parties will probably put you in their target.

I believe the SEC eventually caught too people selling alt coins for security violations.

If you are trying to operate in some grey area it will probably not be grey for long.

Who is responsible those who get caught of course

The big ad splash says ... AI GONNA SAVE YOU TIME & CASH!

Bcs why pay nowan for skills can be cloned in an instant?

You're busy.

You gaht finite resources.

So if'n you need a sales page, or sum funky designs, or UGC cahntent by the skewer -- in like seckinds -- then why deal with pesky hoomans drainin' yr bank account on a cushy whooshy whim?

First, I guess, is bcs you exile them hoomans outta the loop they gonna make like Jules Verne's MORLOCKS.

Seckind, AI has disrupted legal copyright/patent norms like a vamp with a protooberant dick to match its fangs.

All your assets are slave belong to us!

Third, you set AI in mowshwaahn, it gonna speweth out its wisdaahmbase (evrywan's raided shit) 'pon command.

What imprisoned demons may you unwittingly unleash from yon algorithm's seecrit vestibyool?

Naht your choice to say.

An' when they flap their wings ovah yr mortal dealings, fangs prompted by your intention ... an' conflict follows -- then who is to blame?

"Not me. I'm not responsible for AI's algorithms."

Oh, really? Then why did you choose to take advantage of such services?

"I simply wished to save time and cash. Get the job done quicker and easier. Better."

Like you could wave a magic wand? Without knowin' which sorcerer cast its ass?

Thing is, so many AI models have breached copyright an' indulged in historic asset theft.

Existential Intelligence gonna kick back all ovah, tellya.
