AI could be more helpful in more known scenarios, challenges. If the scenario is occurred earlier then the decision would be more accurate but not always.
Thank you for your reply, Sonali, I agree. Saving Changes...

Depends on what we trust AI to do. In a supervised mode, the operator will still have decision making authority whereas in unsupervised mode the AI will make the decision based on the heuristics it has developed based on its training data and on any constraints explicitly programmed into it. The latter will still serve as a safety net in case a machine generated decision is immoral.
I'm more concerned about hacking of properly trained AI.
Of course, once AI achieves sentience, we should all be ready to welcome our new machine overlords! :-)

Interesting and challenging question, Alankar. I am more concerned about the required capabilities to create the programs that could teach AI to make right, moral decisions. Sometimes it is difficult to even explain what is right and moral, never mind designing and developing programs for that.

Ethical decision making is a choice a person makes for their own benefit.. One may have very strict ethical / moral boundaries while others are willing to cross their boundaries into gray areas or to far exceed them. The decisions AI makes is dependent on the scenario and the boundaries of the programmer. In essence, if we trust our people to make the right decisions then we should trust the decisions made by AI, since they are the ones who programmed them.

Alankar, this is a very interesting, complex and challenging question.
In this era, the codes of ethics and codes of conduct of existing professions and their professional organizations may be challenged, as their own members exercise AI - oriented work duties. They will have to consider the behavior of machines, besides the classical view on the behavior of professionals and the impact of their actions.
AI is a man-made disruptor, posing regulatory problems of ethical, and morale nature. As such, the matter of trusting AI to make moral, right choices is a "man guided" matter. Impacting existing professions and evolving into a profession on its own, AI will need to consider the development of a code of ethics and a code of conduct; where morale may have (or not) a "disruptive" definition.

Great topic! There are those who want to take the human out of the loop in all applications. For those rule based applications the value of AI (or adaptive learning) has been shown time and time again. However, with moral right choice, the multi-dimensional context needs to be completely understood. Ground truth needs to be established and agreed upon. But... what is ground truth? Ask 5 people what they observed and you will likely get 7 different answers. Such is the nature of this type of decision process. The spectrum of moral decisions is wide and complex. For those on the ends of the spectrum, possibly AI can assist in at least providing OPTIONS or CHOICES for consideration. Saving Changes...

Can you trust anyone to make the right moral choice?
That is certainly a harsh perspective, but depending on the culture of the organization, this might be reality. If no one can be trusted, then a cultural transformation might be necessary for the organization to move further. What future value is there for an organizational which cannot openly discuss decision alternatives? Interesting to ponder. Saving Changes...
