Assignment 1 COSEQUENTIAL ETHICAL ANALYSIS
Question a.
Starting from optimizing logistics, composing art, detecting fraud, conducting researches
providing translations and manufacturing anything in an industrial context, the intelligent
machines are replacing the human beings hence creating scopes for increasing unemployment.
Question b.
The issue of utilising artificial intelligence in the field of business, defence, education, security
and all the areas which need some human actions has become a burning issue for the socialists
and philosophises. This is the reason why these issues have become one of the most impact topic
of debate among the people affected by the increasing functionality of artificial intelligence. The
hierarchy of labour in all the sectors is concerned with the fast-increasing automation techniques
adopted by the global companies like Amazon, Tesla and Ford. The landscape of artificial
intelligence is becoming boundless. These systems are being widely used in the developed
countries as well as in the developing countries because AI is more capable to make the matters
efficient whatever it touches. Hence replacing the efforts of the human employees AI is reducing
the cost of the companies as well as influencing the strategic and cognitive laborism.The ethical
issue associated with use of AI and increasing unemployment also discusses artificial creation of
wealth thus misbalancing the economy of a country. The companies of the developed nations
hinge on hourly work when it comes to production but these companies are now preferring the
artificial intelligence and drastically eliminating their workforce. This loss of reliance on the
manual workforce has led to the reduction of revenue distribution and eventually increasing the
wealth gap.

Question c.
In discussing the ethical issue of unemployment due to artificial intelligence, there are six facts
which cannot be overseen.
Firstly, the artificial intelligence is limiting the human freedom or right to access the information
needed to function efficiently. Surging capabilities of the artificial intelligence is the cause of
current job supplanted. The study of artificial intelligence AI have found out that the professions
of doctors, accountants and lawyers will be replaced by the robots within 2025. The low-skilled
employees need to be relocated to the workplaces where the tasks are non-susceptible of
computerisation.
Secondly, in the business sector, the role of the senior managers in this deeply data driven world
has started to be shifted. Due to artificial data collection method, the judgements about the
consumers in terms of their potential have become instantaneous but may or may not be
appropriate.
Thirdly, due to the increased use of artificial intelligence in the education sector, the manual
method of teaching is decreasing eventually affecting the recruitment process of the professors.
Despite the fact that through this, the students are being helped even outside their classrooms but
this manual technique cannot be replaced by machine learning as though this, the students are
gaining information only, but not learning.
Fourthly, the unemployment issue due to the increasing usage of artificial intelligence, also
includes the fairness as well as neutrality of the robots. Some of the companies like Google and
its parent Alphabet have introduced photo services in which the artificial intelligence is
