We can only understand Moral and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (AI) if we claim that the machines also have a human-like mind. The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.







What Is Artificial Intelligence

The term artificial intelligence also known as (AI) was first coined by John McCarthy in (1955). In terms of definition, Artificial Intelligence can be defined as “A machine which has the capability to solve the problems more efficiently which were previously solved by human Intelligence.”

The Artificial Intelligence technology has its own brain which is a computer just like humans. This computer determines or measures the complexity of the problem and then initiates its answer in human understandable form. It also has the capability of self-improvement. AI also improves by solving more problems. As it tends to solve more problems, the fewer chances of it are to create any error.

As quoted by Alan Perlis “A year spent in Artificial Intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.”

Artificial Intelligence And Us

Artificial Intelligence has changed the face of the world by minimizing the human error. The world in which we live is full of Artificial Intelligence. We can see it daily use in banking systems, Heavy Industrial complex, security system, etc. All this world, which is mesmerizing to our eyes is full of AI. It is not self-created, but it is made by the humans. The humans make these AI machines just to increase the efficiency of work.







The use of AI in the medical field has helped save a lot of people’s life. The use of Artificial Intelligence in search engines or educational websites has helped students to gain access to knowledge beyond the mind could think. The AI in some part of the world can regulate human laws; the regulation of speed limit, the traffic lights is some of its examples. AI delivers us all this knowledge and information. The AI is not only related to web content only. Nowadays, new AI integrated machines are out. These machines act like humans and behave like humans. These are introduced just to create a human-friendly environment as quoted by Max Temari.

“Amplifying our human intelligence with artificial intelligence has the potential of helping civilization flourish like never.”

AI And Ethics

The word Ethics specifically defined as “The discipline dealing with what is good and bad, with moral duty and obligation.” (Merriam Webster). If we take the definition of Ethics, then the Artificial Intelligence has a duty which it performs to us whether it is a medical service like aiding in medical operations or whether rendering its service during the war in shape of ICBM missiles or tanks.

The problem arises when the AI fails to perform the task which is provided to it. If the AI is told not to launch a missile and it automatically launches missile due to some malfunctioning in its programming than the AI machine must be dismantled based on ethics.

The world in which we live everyone has unique ideas flourishing in their minds. If we allow these ideas to flourish for the betterment of AI then everyone would create things as they wish. This could help in making our earth a better place to live or could surely create havoc on earth. So many uncountable ideas when shaped into working machines, who would be held responsible if a machine kills a person or create a disaster, what if the very person who created it denies the claim of it.

What if a wealthy billionaire replaces the factory workers with the machines? The machines would go against the rights of labor. Moreover, it could also create strife between elite and lower class. It is well quoted by Elbert Hubbard.

“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men, but no machine can do the work of one extraordinary man”.

Why There Should Be Laws Regarding AI? Why Should AI Not Be Open Source?







It is obvious that the AI should not be open source. In fact, there should be laws that prevent it from happening. It should only be created or modified by specific agencies. The governments of different countries should regulate and imply strict rules/laws on the making of AI machines. Specifically, it must not be open source. Some people may use the open source to get their hands on this technology for a negative purpose. Every machine created should be analyzed and rechecked for error and the machines should be human-friendly. These machines are not only dangerous but can turn the earth into hell. The laws should be there to prevent this from happening.
