Understanding the Role of AI Ethicists: Observer, Evaluator, and Agent of Change
In the evolving landscape of AI, the role of an ethicist transcends mere observation. As we delve into the complexities of AI ethics, we can categorize these roles as:
- Observer: Identifying and describing ethical implications of AI technologies, particularly through platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
- Evaluator: Analyzing the moral dimensions and implications of these technologies, while expressing personal evaluations of their impacts.
- Change Agent: Advocating for responsible practices and seeking to mitigate harm, thus embodying Action AI Ethics.
Key insights from this exploration include:
- The inherent AI Ethicist’s Dilemma: Balancing personal use of platforms against ethical obligations.
- The illusion of objectivity and the interconnection of ethics with social responsibility.
- The importance of collective action and collaboration in instigating meaningful change.
