Owing to paucity of time, a university professor generates a Ph.D. evaluation report using Artificial Intelligence and submits it with some modifications. Discuss this from the perspective of accountability and integrity.

Ethics in Privacy

1. With the coming of more advanced technologies, the safety of data will become a bigger concern.
2. AI can misuse data/data patterns to gain access to private matters of a person.
3. Newer methods of "impersonation" may develop by the use of AI.
4. Humans and human data will be treated as a "commercial quantity". ↓ This goes against the ethical tenet, that humans must always be ends and not the means to an end.

Part (b): AI induced unemployment

1. As per WEF report, advent of 14.0 will lead to loss of millions of jobs. (Future of Jobs Report)
2. This is a classic case of technology being designed for human convenience, causing inconvenience to millions.
3. Millions will be displaced and lose their jobs. ↓ Completely unacceptable from a humanitarian ethical viewpoint.
4. The nature of jobs will also change.
5. Since the technology will be in the hands of the rich, it will leave the poorer sections further vulnerable.

Potential for misuse

1. Ethically and morally wrong actions may take place. These will be guided by wrong intentions.
2. In the absence of an ethical framework for AI, it will lead to a situation where we have designed "humans without conscience".
3. Eventually the AI can prove disastrous for social harmony or peace in the society.

Analysis of AI

Like any other invention, every leap in technology can be used for welfare of many or misused by some. The aim is to limit the possibilities of misuse.

This can be done via:

1. Promoting ethical design in AI. This would mean creation of an "artificial conscience".
2. Strict controls on proliferation of harmful AI technologies.
3. Sensitisation of the scientists and stakeholders working with AI. This will make them understand the potency of their inventions.
