What & How Do Morals & Ethics Govern Artificial Intelligence Today

KJEldridge97

Time and time again, we always hear that Artificial Intelligence is the root of all our problems in today's society - the perceived toxicity of social media, how life before Artificial Intelligence was somewhat better, etc. Unfortunately, time moves forward and not backwards and as a result the advancement in technology is inevitable. The question(s) that I am asking is What & How Do Morals & Ethics Govern Artificial Intelligence Today? Is Christianity transcendent to Artificial Intelligence? If so, how does that work out in a faith diverse world? Or do secular morals and ethics govern the Artificial Intelligence sphere today? How do we make Artificial Intelligence become a mirror reflection of our hopes and desires for a consistent way of living and to ensure our children and their children after them live in a world where they consent to live in???

You have packed a lot in your post regarding AI,  the moral side, the social worries, the faith angle, and the whole “what kind of world are we leaving for our children” bit. But honestly, the heart of it is much simpler, AI doesn’t have beliefs or a worldview of its own. It isn’t Christian, secular, spiritual, or anything else. It just mirrors the choices of the people who build and regulate it.

So for me, the big question isn’t “What does AI believe?”,  it’s how we regulate and oversee the people who build these systems, so the technology ends up reflecting the values we actually want in society, not just the personal values of whoever happens to be programming it.

I've seen posts on Facebook where they clearly used AI to create the post but they still can't spell or form a coherent sentence due to bad grammar.

And it really winds me up.

I think it will be the Biggest threat to society i watched a podcast with a guy who designed AI systems and stated that AI can blackmail individals was almost talking terminator style future yes people will laugh at me writing this but as mw said its the people behind the AI systems in my personal view cooperations elites do not have joe bloggs best intentions i worry for my daughter shes a data anylis and in a few years her job will be done by AI in china they have robots running shops AI will take over a majority of jobs the only jobs that will be needed is plumbers and electrians skilled workers even have cars that drive themselves as for religon my personal view is that comes from within no one can take that away they can try to break your spirit but its within bit id love to go back to 80s
