Artificial Intelligence for a Better Future: An Ecosystem Perspective on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital Technologies
暫譯: 為更美好的未來而設的人工智慧：從生態系統的角度探討人工智慧與新興數位技術的倫理問題
Stahl, Bernd Carsten
商品描述
This open access book proposes a novel approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics. AI offers many advantages: better and faster medical diagnoses, improved business processes and efficiency, and the automation of boring work. But undesirable and ethically problematic consequences are possible too: biases and discrimination, breaches of privacy and security, and societal distortions such as unemployment, economic exploitation and weakened democratic processes. There is even a prospect, ultimately, of super-intelligent machines replacing humans. The key question, then, is: how can we benefit from AI while addressing its ethical problems?
This book presents an innovative answer to the question by presenting a different perspective on AI and its ethical consequences. Instead of looking at individual AI techniques, applications or ethical issues, we can understand AI as a system of ecosystems, consisting of numerous interdependent technologies, applications and stakeholders. Developing this idea, the book explores how AI ecosystems can be shaped to foster human flourishing. Drawing on rich empirical insights and detailed conceptual analysis, it suggests practical measures to ensure that AI is used to make the world a better place.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍提出了一種新穎的人工智慧（AI）倫理觀點。人工智慧提供了許多優勢：更好且更快速的醫療診斷、改善的商業流程和效率，以及自動化繁瑣的工作。然而，也可能出現不良和倫理上有問題的後果：偏見和歧視、隱私和安全的侵犯，以及社會扭曲，如失業、經濟剝削和民主過程的削弱。最終，甚至有可能出現超智能機器取代人類的前景。因此，關鍵問題是：我們如何能在解決其倫理問題的同時，從人工智慧中獲益？
本書對這個問題提出了一個創新的答案，通過提供對人工智慧及其倫理後果的不同視角來實現。與其關注個別的人工智慧技術、應用或倫理問題，我們可以將人工智慧理解為一個生態系統的系統，由眾多相互依賴的技術、應用和利益相關者組成。發展這一理念，本書探討了如何塑造人工智慧生態系統，以促進人類的繁榮。基於豐富的實證見解和詳細的概念分析，它建議了一些實用措施，以確保人工智慧被用來使世界變得更美好。
