Ethical Implications of AI: A Study of Automated Systems

This essay identifies and analyzes the ethical issues associated with AI-based automated systems. It examines the virtues and morality of AI, including its potential to substitute human functions and its limitations when lacking proper regulations. The analysis incorporates Kant's categorical imperative to assess the duties and ethical considerations related to AI technology. The essay delves into specific and general rules concerning AI ethics, addresses contradictions, and evaluates the ethical implications of AI actions. It concludes that understanding the moralities of AI utilization is crucial for managing change and leveraging the benefits of AI technologies while mitigating potential risks, emphasizing the importance of ethical frameworks in AI implementation for organizational success.

Question
Identification of the Ethical issues relating to the AI based automated system.
a. Virtues of the question
The three virtues of the research, which is based on the identification of the ethical issues
associated with the usage of the AI based technological systems, are:
AI technology substitutes the human beings while functioning as per the needs of the systems
through different malfunctioning terms, which might give rise to inconvenience which might be
taken as an ethical issues.
The research helps in understanding the utility of the AI technology and the manner in which the
technology can be helpful for enhancing the human functions.
The research also testifies the ill effects of the AI technology when no rules and regulations are
coded in their systems and thereby identify the limitations of these substitutes.
b. Morality of the Act Central of the question
Morality of the act depends on the identification of the issues that are faced by the
individuals while operating in a AI technology or simply to identify the manner in which the AI
technology is helping the people to bring in enhancements in their functions. The different
dimensions of the morality are characterized by the enumeration of the strengths and weaknesses
of utilizing the technology for the better functioning of the people. The different aspects of the
change that is undertaken by the people is characterized by the understanding of the different
pros and cons of utilizing the technology.
c. Kant’s categorical Imperative

2ETHICAL ISSUES
I. Specific Rule
The identification of the duty of the AI technology helps in understanding the role of the
technology and the manner, which is expressed as per the scientific calculations, affects the
human functioning. The specific rule that might be considered as per the case is based on the
understanding of the varied aspects of the change in the functioning through the identification of
the different duties (Crozier and Schulte-Hostedde 2015). The understanding of the duty that the
AI technology is entrusted with is based on the enhancement in the operations of the people. The
different modes of functioning has helped in identifying the different aspects of the change in the
systems of the technology. On the other hand, the identification of the duty helps in ensuring the
proper functioning of the technology and the manner in which the technology can possibly bring
in changes in the efforts that are taken by the people.
II General Rule
The general rule is based on understanding the change in the structure and the functioning
of the ethical consideration relating to the utilization of the AI technology (Jayakumar 2016).
The utilization of the AI technology is based on the understanding of the change in the
enhancement of the performance. However, the general rule for the ethics is based on the
fruitfulness of the utilization of the technology. There are various instances where the technology
has failed to work which affected the functioning of the people using the tech.
III Self contradictory general rule?
The contradictions in the general rule is based on the identification of the various aspects
of the change and the manner in which it can be imparted to the utilization of the nano tech. The
AI tech has been developed for the enhancing the actions of the people (Cohen 2016). However,

the malfunctioning of the technology affects the proper functioning of the tech as per the
requirements of the people.
IV General rule and Kant’s rule
The general rule is based on the understanding of the effects of the functions that are
undertaken by the object or the person and the manner in which the utilization is beneficial
(Cohen and Wellman 2014). However, Kant’s rule is based on the evaluation of the moral,
character of the person/object and while identifying the chief functions that is undertaken by the
person/object in the different situations (Louden 2014). The understanding of the ethical
perspectives in this case is based on the identification of the needs of the people to cope up in
different situations.
V Contradiction of the general rule with the purpose
The purpose of the assignment is based on the identification of the various functions of
the AI technology and the manner in which it can be beneficial as peer the identification of the
moralities of the same (Gunkel 2012). However, the general rule delves into the actions that are
taken by the AI technology to undermine the different aspects of the future prospects of utilizing
the technology.
VI Act ethical
The Act ethical perspective is based on the understanding of the varied aspects of the
change in the functioning of the AI technology (Yampolskiy 2013). The identification of the
functional aspects is based on the understanding of the needs of people to bring in substitutes for
enhancing the performance.

c. Conclusion
Therefore, from the above analysis it can be stated the the identification of the different
moralities of the utilization of the objects helps in maintaining the different levels of the change
is n the requirements. The identification of the ethical issues helps in maintaining the paradox of
the change and thereby to reason out for utilizing the technologies for the benefit of the people.
The implementation of the AI technology has helped in errorless functioning of the organizations
in the market. The different activities that are undertaken by the systems are based on the
functioning of the different levels of changes in the systems of the business undertakings.
