Introduction
The evolving Information technology integrates ethical codes that guide the computing field that lacks discretion. The ethical theories teaching the basics of ethics are found across all areas of computer. The solution for the moral dilemma depends on the different honest approaches used differently. Primarily, allowing organizations to apply ethical principles is geared at ensuring the survivability of it in the long-term.The ethical theory applies to Artificial Intelligence and offers good guidance when meeting the needs of society.
The Identification of the Ethical Issues
The issue of fairness at a high level of COMPAS ought to assist Judges in analyzing if a defendant should be kept in jail or allowed out while the trial is waiting. The training on the historical defendant data is used to examine correlations—the issue on whether or not the person was rearrested (Bynum 46). The correlations made can be used for when making arrest for a new crime during the period of trial waiting.
Identification of the Potential Stakeholders
The potential stakeholders use the defendant’s risk score and the defendants ought to face a jail term as a way of preventing them from causing potential harm. For low risk, defendants ought to be defendants, and this should be released before their trial, making the risk assessments influential and following these recommendations (Schefczyk, Michael 382). The automated decision-making questioned could lead to discrimination and tend to be biased (Ward, Terrell 12). The fairness ensures that the error rates are comparable between groups, which helps individuals be treated with similar risk scores in the same way (Gaparov 16). The issue arose given that white and black defendants are rearrested at various rates (Leonov 12). The fairness is restricted to risk assessment applicable in the criminal legal system (Tavani 12). The decision-making process distributes punishments and resources with various outcomes and tends to have different definitions of mutually exclusive fairness (Theodorou 10). Further, the government agencies have lost the ability to examine the decision-making.
Ethical Theories
The ethical theory for individuals uses the ethical theory for purposes of decision making and emphasizes the aspects of an ethical dilemma. The ethical theories are geared at helping persons during decision-making and can be useful in coming up with different viewpoints of a particular issue (Tavani 16). The prediction of the outcome should be ethically correct. However, if the predictions are wrong, the judge should be held responsible for the wrongful predictions since the manufacturer does not reveal the proprietary algorithm.
Deontology
The deontological class ought to follow the set duties and obligations relating to ethics to make decisions. A person ought to be his or her obligations to another society or individual, and upholding one’s duty is ethically correct (Fiesler 16). A deontologist, in this case, means that the organizations or individuals are harmonious and will follow the law (Jacobs 26). The application of deontological theory produces congruous decisions that are as per the individual’s set duties.
Utilitarianism
Utilitarian theory is designed for forecasting action and selects a choice that generates the most significant benefit, which is correct. The type of utilitarianism used in this case is rule utilitarianism (Loi et al. 14). A rule utilitarian in the case of the COMPAS shows that using it provides fairness in making the judgment. The utilitarian decision-maker ought to make concerns—the comparisons of material gains against intangible gains.
The Application of Ethical Theories
There are two approaches to using the principles of ethical conduct that use deontology to conduct one’s behavior ethically. The principles of ethical conduct mean that COMPAS ought to make justifiable decisions (Bauer, William 2392). The application of ethical theories uses the organizational and personal development used in the Utilitarian ethical theoretical model to ensure justice. Alberta should therefore use COMPAS as it allows deontological to base their decision-making styles and presents its hierarchy.
Conclusion
Ethical theories advance human welfare, professional responsibility, responsibility for work competence, and integrity in Artificial Intelligence and therefore benefits of these tools outweigh the risks. The upholding of the ethical principles in Artificial intelligence helps to solve everyday issues. Essentially, the significance of the ethical theories is focused on improving the environment of an organization. Therefore, ethical theories have contributed significantly to technology created by Artificial Intelligence and ethical decisions.
