The Emerging Challenges with AI Acceptance No One is Talking About
Society’s ethical abuse of AI can lead to its destruction, as programming ethical AI stalls.
So far, artificial intelligence and intelligent robots have been judged based on the value they provide. We ‘recruit’ them to benefit from process efficiency, decreased HR costs, lower error in task-handling, and most importantly — from a productivity increase of approximately 40%.
Advancing with AI and creating a human-robot symbiotic society poses great challenges for the current social structure, some of which our society is not yet ready to face. Will we treat AI ethically? What does ethical treatment entail? Should such AI software or cognitive machines be given legal rights, equal to the ones we, humans, have been granted with?
If we reject cognitive AI robots — what will the costs for our society be?
We treat AI robots as servants, under rule utilitarianism.
Thus far the relationship between humans and robots (regardless of their degree of cognition) can be identified as one, where we — humans, are dominant and the machines are obedient.
