Beyond Algorethics: Addressing the Ethical and Anthropological Challenges of AI Recommender Systems

Machidon, Octavian M.

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper examines the ethical and anthropological challenges posed by AI-driven recommender systems (RSs), which increasingly shape digital environments and social interactions. By curating personalized content, RSs do not merely reflect user preferences but actively construct experiences across social media, entertainment platforms, and e-commerce. Their influence raises concerns over privacy, autonomy, and mental well-being, while existing approaches such as "algorethics" - the effort to embed ethical principles into algorithmic design - remain insufficient. RSs inherently reduce human complexity to quantifiable profiles, exploit user vulnerabilities, and prioritize engagement over well-being. The paper advances a three-dimensional framework for human-centered RSs, integrating policies and regulation, interdisciplinary research, and education. These strategies are mutually reinforcing: research provides evidence for policy, policy enables safeguards and standards, and education equips users to engage critically. By connecting ethical reflection with governance and digital literacy, the paper argues that RSs can be reoriented to enhance autonomy and dignity rather than undermine them.


Ethical Challenges of Using Artificial Intelligence in Judiciary

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a ubiquitous concept in numerous domains, including the legal system. AI has the potential to revolutionize the functioning of the judiciary and the dispensation of justice. Incorporating AI into the legal system offers the prospect of enhancing decision-making for judges, lawyers, and legal professionals, while concurrently providing the public with more streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective services. The integration of AI into the legal landscape offers manifold benefits, encompassing tasks such as document review, legal research, contract analysis, case prediction, and decision-making. By automating laborious and error-prone procedures, AI has the capacity to alleviate the burden associated with these arduous tasks. Consequently, courts around the world have begun embracing AI technology as a means to enhance the administration of justice. However, alongside its potential advantages, the use of AI in the judiciary poses a range of ethical challenges. These ethical quandaries must be duly addressed to ensure the responsible and equitable deployment of AI systems. This article delineates the principal ethical challenges entailed in employing AI within the judiciary and provides recommendations to effectively address these issues.

Foundational models (FMs) have tremendous potential to revolutionize medical imaging. However, their deployment in real-world clinical settings demands extensive ethical considerations. This paper aims to highlight the ethical concerns related to FMs and propose a framework to guide their responsible development and implementation within medicine. We meticulously examine ethical issues such as privacy of patient data, bias mitigation, algorithmic transparency, explainability and accountability. The proposed framework is designed to prioritize patient welfare, mitigate potential risks, and foster trust in AI-assisted healthcare.

Advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) have fueled the development of many educational technology innovations that aim to automate the often time-consuming and laborious tasks of generating and analysing textual content (e.g., generating open-ended questions and analysing student feedback survey) (Kasneci et al., 2023; Wollny et al., 2021; Leiker et al., 2023). LLMs are generative artificial intelligence models that have been trained on an extensive amount of text data, capable of generating human-like text content based on natural language inputs. Specifically, these LLMs, such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) (Devlin et al., 2018) and Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) (Brown et al., 2020), utilise deep learning and self-attention mechanisms (Vaswani et al., 2017) to selectively attend to the different parts of input texts, depending on the focus of the current tasks, allowing the model to learn complex patterns and relationships among textual contents, such as their semantic, contextual, and syntactic relationships (Min et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2023). As several LLMs (e.g., GPT-3 and Codex) have been pre-trained on massive amounts of data across multiple disciplines, they are capable of completing natural language processing tasks with little (few-shot learning) or no additional training (zero-shot learning) (Brown et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2023). This could lower the technological barriers to LLMs-based innovations as researchers and practitioners can develop new educational technologies by fine-tuning LLMs on specific educational tasks without starting from scratch (Caines et al., 2023; Sridhar et al., 2023). The recent release of ChatGPT, an LLMs-based generative AI chatbot that requires only natural language prompts without additional model training or fine-tuning (OpenAI, 2023), has further lowered the barrier for individuals without technological background to leverage the generative powers of LLMs. Although educational research that leverages LLMs to develop technological innovations for automating educational tasks is yet to achieve its full potential (i.e., most works have focused on improving model performances (Kurdi et al., 2020; Ramesh and Sanampudi, 2022)), a growing body of literature hints at how different stakeholders could potentially benefit from such innovations.

Recently, Smart Video Surveillance (SVS) systems have been receiving more attention among scholars and developers as a substitute for the current passive surveillance systems. These systems are used to make the policing and monitoring systems more efficient and improve public safety. However, the nature of these systems in monitoring the public's daily activities brings different ethical challenges. There are different approaches for addressing privacy issues in implementing the SVS. In this paper, we are focusing on the role of design considering ethical and privacy challenges in SVS. Reviewing four policy protection regulations that generate an overview of best practices for privacy protection, we argue that ethical and privacy concerns could be addressed through four lenses: algorithm, system, model, and data. As an case study, we describe our proposed system and illustrate how our system can create a baseline for designing a privacy perseverance system to deliver safety to society. We used several Artificial Intelligence algorithms, such as object detection, single and multi camera re-identification, action recognition, and anomaly detection, to provide a basic functional system. We also use cloud-native services to implement a smartphone application in order to deliver the outputs to the end users.

Computing systems are tightly integrated today into our professional, social, and private lives. An important consequence of this growing ubiquity of computing is that it can have significant ethical implications of which computing professionals should take account. In most real-world scenarios, it is not immediately obvious how particular technical choices during the design and use of computing systems could be viewed from an ethical perspective. This article provides a perspective on the ethical challenges within semiconductor chip design, IoT applications, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence in the design processes, tools, and hardware-software stacks of these systems.

AI is frequently implemented as a hardware and software hybrid system. From a software perspective, algorithms are the major focus of AI. Creating AI algorithms can be conceptualized using an Artificial Neural Network. It is a simulation of the human brain made up of a network of neurons connected by weighted communication pathways. Artificial intelligence is used in computers to refer to a computer program's ability to carry out operations linked to human intellect, such as reasoning and learning.
