Ethical Concerns the Advance of AI Raises

Nearly every day, we hear about new advances in AI that enable new ways to monitor activities and people, transforming many processes in our day to day life. What we may then hear every other day is how AI can exacerbate racial and gender bias and pose a threat to privacy, job security, and economic well being. It could possibly even spark a war in the view of Elon Musk. As explained in Facial Recognition Concerns: Microsoft's Six Ethical Principles, "The widespread use of Artificial Intelligence-powered facial recognition technology can lead to some new intrusions into people's privacy." Given the ability to capture people's image and identify them on public streets in the name of security, people are rightfully concerned that they will lose their ability to maintain any privacy.
