Presentation Assignment
Instructions:
Please provide a
roughly 10 minute evaluation of the case-study “PimEyes New York Times Article”
attached. Please research information about the company and product and
describe:
(1) how does this
product/service use AI,
(2) how does this
involve the ethical topic from THAT WEEK,
(3) what policy do
you recommend for how the company should mitigate this specific ethical risk,
and
(4) how do you defend
that policy against the alternatives?
Please focus ONLY on
the particular ethical principle AUTONOMY.
describe a product/service from the
company which uses AI, and the ethical challenge which that product/service
creates. Please
focus ONLY on the particular principle being discussed that week. For example:
“Company A produces product x. Here is how x is an example of AI. Here is
the ethical challenge for (value of that week) that x presents.” Teams
will then present a policy. This policy should be able to predict whether x is
a violation of the principle in question, and whether similar products to x are
or are not violations.
Policies should have the general
format: “we believe that it is a violation
of (principle) to deploy AI for (domain, purpose, task) under the following
conditions… and according to this policy, (case study) is/is not a violation of
(principle).”
then DEFEND their policy using a
normative framework. I strongly recommend only using ONE normative framework.
Make it clear what alternative policies other companies may adopt, and why
yours is the best choice. Imagine you are presenting this to skeptical
stakeholders (investors, employees, customers), and trying to persuade them
that your company’s practices are responsible. Ethics Key Terms document
attached should help (focus on week 1 and week 2 for key terms)
