AI is using in projects from more than 40 years ago. About ethics, we need to define what ethics mean in a context then to create policies to support it. This is what organizations are doing from long time ago. The point is that with the new popularity of generative AI (generative AI is there from more than 30 years ago) it demands to create a new business unit or new organizational structure to support or related to legal and ethical (what the organization has defined as ethical) implications.

Dr. Farrow,

The first and foremost ethical consideration and that which all else flows from is:
» What is the definition of truth?

Does it exist as:
[1] a narratival construct
[2] a pursuit of facts that lead to the discovery of truth
[3] a murky substance existing between poles 1 and 2

If it’s a pursuit, are the facts transparently presented, bearing witness to all points of view, allowing the consumer to resolve and solidify the foundation basis of the stated truth? If not, trust will be a fleeting concept, and the knowledge received will find no anchor in its consumer.

If it’s a narratival construct or a murky (i.e., nontransparent) substance projected to the consumer, then “ethical dilemmas” will rule the day.

I think that the main ethical consideration is to recognize that much of the information that AI provides today (today we know that not all) comes from people or external entities that we do not know and of which we should give reference for its use but since we do not know where it comes from Well we can't do it.

Here's the quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook in 2017 that I think is very inspiring. It might not be the exact quote, but it is something similar like below:

“I’m not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans. I’m more concerned about people thinking like computers — without values or compassion.”

I guess the above quote summarizes it, and if we think further, we might be able to find answer or direction.

There should be the following ground rules:
-Safeguard human autonomy, especially in decision-making processes.
-Address bias and discrimination to avoid patterns of marginalization and inequality.
-Have transparency and provide explanation when someone is looking at how AI is consuming and processing the information.
