1ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence or AI is the latest technological advancement that has been
talked about in the entire world and various organisations in different countries are trying to
implement it this technology for adding this benefits of artificial intelligence into their
business system benefiting the country on a larger scale. in the same way, as described in this
particular case study, America is also trying to implement Artificial Intelligence for the
benefit of the people in America. This particular essay will address the analysis of the case
according to the ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, contract and virtue followed by
the identification of the ethical issues, their implications and probable solutions.
Analysis and discussion of the chosen topic
In this particular case study, it is primarily seen that for the people of America, White
House has been essentially keen on implementing the Artificial Intelligence Technology by
learning about the immense potential of AI (The White House, 2019). Some of the major
point to focus that American people had decided on to implement AI Technology where for
the national R&D ecosystem dependent upon the air technology, the advantage that AI would
provide to the American workforce, the way that AI innovation has the potential of removing
all the areas from its implementation face and the immense impact on the application based
AI Technology sectors.
All these benefits have been extensively discussed in the meeting held by the
authorities of White House. the government also decided upon removing all the barriers that
would appear in a proper artificial intelligence implementation within the country and the
government would help the leveraging of Artificial Intelligence Technology for improving
security aspects, workforce culture and numerous other problems.

Analysis by the ethical theories
Utilitarianism
The utilitarianism theory in in ethical conduct states that if a particular step is taken in
favour of anything committing to high moral value, then and the step taken towards this
particular issue would be considered as just and right. In the same way, the American
government wants to modify the American legislation to implement the rules for Artificial
Intelligence implementation within the country (Russell & Norvig, 2016). science behind this
there lies high model of helping the people in America and the high moral behind trying to
make the country attain supremacy in comparison to do all the countries in the world, then
there lies no ethical implication.
Deontology
Just like deontological ethics theory embraces the morality of a certain issue highly
over any other implication, the American government as per the rule of Trump
Administration can also make new rules for implementing artificial intelligence in the
American laws (Etzioni & Etzioni, 2017). It is indeed understandable that this particular
Technology was not included in the legislation before, but thinking about the benefits that the
workforces and the people in America would gain from this particular Technology, the
American government even has the right to amend the existing legislation and create a new
one in support of the American people. here the morality of helping the people in America
and the country at a broader sense serves much better purpose done the ethical right of
changing the legislation.

Contract
The contractual ethics theory focuses on the working together of the American people
as a unit within the society to affect the implementation of AI Technology. as it was
discussed in the meeting of White House, the American people have promised to work
together in agreement as a team within the society to help the establishment of moral rules of
behaviour and political laws, which justifies the implementation of a particular technology
for benefiting the nation as a whole. This contemplated the contractual ethical theory
(Crawford, 2016).
Virtue
Virtue ethics mostly talks about the development of a good habit that it is
implemented with the help of a new Technology implementation. with implementation of
artificial intelligence in all the aspects of the country, that would be an establishment of good
culture within the American people and habits of the people in an overall basis would see e
and exceeding improvement (Arruda, 2016). It would be easier for the government to achieve
all the goals it had planned beating the challenges. Therefore, this particular theory also
justifies the implementation of AI in America for the American people.
Identification of the ethical issues in the case
Since laws are based on the moral values in a particular society, it forms a system of
rules and guidelines that are enforced for or governing the behaviour of the people living in a
country. This particular case looks towards the changing of the legislation in a country due to
the introduction of a new technology (Etzioni & Etzioni, 2017). The ethical issue in this case
would like about understanding the moral behind the implementation of this particular law

and the understanding of the people to effectively use AI only for the benefit of the people in
America.
Implications of ethical problems
The understanding of artificial intelligence need to be very clear to the people in
America otherwise they would not recognise the benefits that the government wants them to
provide, instead they would utilise artificial intelligence completely for their own personal
purpose that would not contribute to the cumulative benefit towards the people and the entire
country (Davies, 2016). This would result not in the benefit of the people but would add to
the negative impact of the technology on the people in America.
Solutions to the ethical problems
The only solution to this particular ethical problem would be formulated if the people
in America first meant to understand the benefit that artificial intelligence has to offer to
every individual and entire American society and the government in extension (Taddeo &
Floridi, 2018). In addition to that, the people also needs to be trained to utilise the benefits of
artificial intelligence vendor used for the betterment of the country rather than using it for
their personal needs. This should provide proper solution to the identified ethical problem.
Moral issues raised by the adaptation and use of ICT in this case
As the technology has seen numerous amounts of advancements, even providing the
artificial intelligence services for the betterment of the country, in the same way there has
been various examples of countries at threat because of the advanced Technologies
(Boddington, 2017). Artificial intelligence is another use of Information and Communication
Technology or ICT, that falls under various moral issues regarding artificial intelligence such
as security and data protection along with intellectual property rights and cyber bullying.

adapting to artificial intelligence for benefiting the American people should also consider all
of the above moral implications of ICT before they are introduced to the people in America.
Conclusion
Therefore, in conclusion it can be said that the case study where there has been a
meeting invite house regarding the implementation of artificial intelligence for the betterment
of the American people and the country in extension is a noble idea that Trump
Administration wants to introduce. Although as per the analysis of the case study by ethical
theories, the case study is analysed in the proper way to find out any ethical implications of
the case. the implications of the ethical problems have also been described along with the
solution to the ethical problems and any moral issues that can be raised by the adaptation and
use of ITC in this particular case.
