Week 5 Assignment
This assignment is aligned with CO-3.
PROMPT:
In our Learning Materials you have read about legal issues and ethical concerns relating to the use of various types of AI in business. Research current AI news for an item published no earlier than during the past year that reports and illustrates a current –or forecasts a future– example of an ethical or legal issue pertaining to the use or function of AI in business. This could be an event that has occurred, litigation, legislation, regulation, or other issue.
This must be an explanatory article with some analysis, not simply a “news blurb.” This will be your “keynote article” for this Assignment.
Using your keynote article as your basis for your topic of this Assignment, complete all of the following:
Research and writing – APA7 Paper
Research the legal or ethical issue identified in your keynote article, including other or related examples illustrating the issue with the use of AI.
When you have gathered your research, write an APA Style 7th Edition paper that:
summarizes the specific event or problem reported in the keynote article including: the type of AI involved, subfield, its use, the specific company involved (if there is one) and/or other stakeholders
identifies the legal or ethical issue with the use of this specific AI
includes descriptive examples of the issue in the application of the AI
explains the risk to business posed by the issue
identifies who was (is), or could be, harmed
recommends whether or how the issue can be prevented or mitigated, and how; or whether the AI application should be used at all because of the issue
