The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence explores, analyzes, and investigates some of the most basic concepts, values, moral principles, and ethical dilemmas shaping contemporary human life. Old philosophical questions-such as puzzles about meaning in life, moral responsibility, or the nature and importance of consciousness-get new life and are given new twists in the contemporary age of artificial intelligence. From questions about the impact of AI on moral responsibility and meaning in life, to puzzles about generative AI and authorship, the possibility of artificial consciousness, control and value alignment problems, AI imitations of living or dead people, and on to the ethics of gambling with the future of humanity-this book tackles some of the most pressing issues of our time head on.
