Can Artificial Intelligence ethically improve society?
The Three Laws of Robotics, which state that a robot cannot harm or allow a human to come into harm, must obey orders given by human beings, and must protect its own existence, were set out by Isaac Asimov 80 years ago, long before Artificial Intelligence became a reality. Despite this, they are still able to illustrate how humans have dealt with the ethical challenges of technology by protecting the users. Ethical challenges associated with technology are not inherently about the technology itself, but rather are a social problem. Technology, therefore, and in particular, Artificial Intelligence, could be used to empower users and help us build a more ethical society. This approach, put forward in the article, 'Ethical Idealism, Technology and Practice: a Manifesto,' will help us utilise technology for the betterment of society. There has long been the fear that humans would succeed in making machines so intelligent that they would end up rebelling against their creators.
