"Technology and Morality" explores the critical intersection of technological advancement and ethical responsibility in our increasingly digital world. It tackles the complex challenges posed by artificial intelligence, data privacy, and automation. One crucial insight is how AI systems can inadvertently amplify existing societal biases, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.
The book also highlights the tension between leveraging personal data for innovation and the fundamental right to privacy, a balancing act essential for maintaining trust and autonomy in the digital age. This book provides context by tracing the historical development of these technologies and examining the evolving regulatory landscape. It argues that technological progress must be guided by a robust ethical compass to ensure it serves humanity's best interests. Without such oversight, there's a risk of exacerbating inequalities and undermining democratic processes.
The book begins by clarifying key concepts like AI ethics and data privacy, then delves into their technical, social, and political dimensions, culminating in a comprehensive ethical framework and policy recommendations for real-world challenges.
