Left unchecked, it could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems, and so must be pursued very carefully, if at all.
By focusing on a utilitarian and rights lens, I believe a lot of people are affected, and more will continue to be affected with the consistent emergence of AI development. The utilitarian lens focuses more on how AI will impact everyone, aiming to cause the least amount of harm, which seems to be ideal. Although AI has benefits, it will harm lots of jobs, potentially being able to replace humans as a whole in certain positions. Or companies opting to use AI to "save money" and time. We have seen this already with AI art being used instead of companies hiring artists. AI is already impacting education and how others learn, but through a utilitarian lens, AI helps with production and accessibility, but it also comes with misinformation and privacy breaches. <- These are some big components when looking into the Rights lens. The effects on employment, education, privacy, and energy consumption must all be evaluated when determining how AI can fit the utilitarian lens. But I feel like that conversation needs to be held on more of a global or government angle. When discussing a product as big as AI, I think a utilitarian approach is a good way to look at it, because making a decision based on making the majority happy seems like it would work. But if we focus on the Rights lens, it's evaluating from a fundamental rights view. There are a lot of ethical questions when it comes to AI, like whether it really respects privacy or is it collecting personal information that we don't know about. Will AI have fair treatment to everyone who uses it? Ai is developing at a scary rate, and needs to be trained and controlled correctly in order for humans to be respected.
