1ETHICAL ISSUES
Answer of the Question No. a)
Ethical issues regarding much dependence on the Artificial Intelligence based automated
system.
Answer of the Question No. b)
Importance of the problem:
The automated systems are created using the artificial intelligence. Theses systems are
capable of substitute human activities in many places, as for example the automated car is
capable of driving itself without the human interaction.However, the accidents those are caused
by the automated car raise the critical issues regarding ethics. In case if an accident is caused by
the automated car the normal traffic violation rule cannot be applied because no human being is
involved with the accident. The absence of particular rules and regulation regarding the
monitoring and control of the automated system has increased importance of the analysis of
ethical problems and doings regarding the automated machine.
Answer of the Question No. c)
Facts relevant to the concerned topic:
1. Increased rate of unemployment due to the automation of the system: The automation of
the machine has enabled the system to work more perfectly. Automated systems are
replacing the human work force. This has become the major reason for the increasing
unemployment.
2. Problems regarding the distribution of wealth: The workers work at the offices and the
company gives them their salary on the basis of their work. In this case the work done by

the robot or any other automated system, the wealth cannot be distributed among the
machine. This leads to the inequity of the distribution of wealth.
3. Responsibility of the technical mistake done by the machine: The making of the
automated system is dependent on the human being. In this case, if there is an
implementation mistake in the making of the automated system, the machine can make
mistake. In that case, ethical issues may arise regarding taking responsibility of the
mistake.
4. Control of the automated system: The control of the automated system includes the
security of the automated system as well as working of the automated system (Müller and
Bostrom 2016). The artificial intelligence enables the use of the machine for illegal
purpose and the automated system which contains the valuable information, can be
accessed by the unauthorized users due to the lack of security.
5. Issues regarding the moral values: The automation of the system is appreciated and is
largely accepted by the society. It has served its various purposes, but it can be definitely
said that a set of logical operations cannot become the substitute of the moral values. The
question of thinking the artificial intelligence as the substitute of the human is becoming
a significant fact.
6. Decision making process in certain cases: The ability of the decision making process of
the automated system is questioned, especially when the case and humanity is needed. In
such situations like, taking care of the babies and the aged persons , the decision making
ability of the automated machine and the robot is not convincing .
