 Assignment 2

• This is a group assignment

• Read the article below and write a report to answer the following question.

Article:
Answer the question below:

The introduction of AI to business applications raises urgent concerns around the ethics, privacy,
and security of the technology. Governance of AI technology must consider how to develop and
expand current legislation around privacy and data protection, including purpose specification, data
collection and use limitations, accountability and security of data storage. The rapid creation and
implementation of AI led to a myriad of ethical questions about its use and continued growth. One
of the most common ethical problems people cite is concerns around consumer data privacy. The
persistence of data poses many problems for the informed consent of the humans to whom the data
belongs. Not to mention, since AI is good at recognizing patterns, it can gather data on people even
without direct access to personal information. So, the question is: how do we protect consumer
privacy with the rapid evolution of AI?
Other ethical problems range from the unemployment question to legal responsibility, and many
more.
