1ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Introduction
The artificial intelligence can be defined as a stimulation of the human intelligence
processes by machines or the computer systems. These are the processes which consist of
learning, reasoning and self-correction. There are few specific applications of AI such as
expert systems, machine vision and speech recognition. The advantages of using AI are many
such as it enhances the efficiency, it is cost-effective, works without being biased since it
does not have any bias (Frederick 1992). On the other hand, the disadvantages are also many
such as it increase the unemployment of people and enhance the job insecurity. There are
some risks related to the loss of important data and the misuse of artificial intelligence also
can be done (Marquis and Battilana 2009). It has been found that Artificial intelligence is
touted as the fourth industrial revolution posing many threats to the society as it is being the
reason for loss of job. As far as the ethics of artificial intelligence is concerned, it has been
found that people have different understanding of ethics (Gottlieb and Sanzgiri 1996). In this
essay the concern of whether the development of AI ethically is possible or not will be
discussed about with relevant theory, literature, concepts and research. The paper will also
talk about how to deal with ethical AI with proper arguments and theories.
Discussion
Ethics is concerned with the identification and study of the behaviours, the standards
and the actions that people must pursue for obtaining a good life. It is also concerned with the
assessment of the moral standards, the ideas of right and wrong, bad and good (Trevino,
Hartman and Brown 2000). In the general sense, it is more concerned with what is fair, what
should be done and what should not along with what is more acceptable. This particular
distinction between “is “and “should” connotes the requirement of distinguishing factual
claims from the ethical ones. On the other hand, morality is subject to be reflected on the

standards of person’s or group’s wrong and right (Katz and Kahn 1978). It also has to be
noted that the moral understanding is passively developed. Ethics can further be claimed as
the assessment of the moral standards and developed actively by the use of experience and
theory. The business ethics consists of the norms, principles and the standards that govern the
conduct of individuals or groups in work situations. It is directly concerned with the human
behaviour and interactions. Hence, it has relevance to people’ behaviour in the organizations.
Those factors which influence the business ethics are the individual characteristics, the stage
of development of a particular country and the intensity of the issues.
Ethical concerns related to Artificial Intelligence
Although there are many benefits related to the insertion of Artificial Intelligence in
the business context, the Tech giants such as Amazon, Alphabet, IBM, Facebook and
Microsoft have believed that this is the right time for talking about the boundless landscape
of the artificial intelligence. In many other ways, it can be considered as a new frontier for the
risk assessment and ethics (Marquis, Davis and Glynn 2013). The excessive use of AI and
automation, the foremost result is the unemployment. The labour hierarchy is concerned with
the automation. As the ways to automate jobs have been invented, room for people could also
be created to assuming more complex roles. When trucking in the United States is seen from
a closer view, it can be seen that the self-driving trucks have lead to a mass unemployment.
When it is seen from the aspect of road-accidents, the self-driven trucks are more ethical in
choice. On the other hand, the economic system is founded on the compensation for the
contribution to the economy that is often assessed having used the hourly wages (Trevino and
Nelson 2006). The use of artificial intelligence has led the companies cut down on relying on
the human workforce which means that the revenues are divided among only few people. The
consequence is that only people having the AI ownership are going to make all the money.
Hence, it creates a wealth gap that is widening every day and it will become difficult to
