Ethical Concerns Caused by the 3rd Wave of AI and Legal Countermeasures
Abstract
The fast rise of the third wave of artificial intelligence (AI) brings about concerns to the human society. Ethically, there are concerns about how to prevent AI from deviating from human values, how to avoid the alienation of AI and make sure that human beings will not be enslaved by the machines, how to deal with the relationship between the personal information security and freedom, and how to handle the moral conflicts caused by AI. The countermeasures should focus on protecting individual privacy, ensuring code security, and embedding the moral programs into AI, thus equipping AI with the ability to make ethical and moral judgments. In response to the broken window effects resulted from AI, a law-based AI management system should be put in place to elevate the industrial threshold and standardize the AI algorithms.
