ASSIGNMENT-SESSION 4 CLASS: X SUBJECT: AI

PART B- UNIT 1 REVISITING AI PROJECT CYCLE & ETHICAL FRAMEWORKS FOR AI

1. What are the five ethical principles of AI?


The five ethical principles of AI are:
(a) Respect for privacy (b) Transparency
(c) Fairness (d) Accountability (e) Safety
2. Why is fairness important in AI decision making?
Fairness ensures that AI systems treat all individuals and groups equally, without
discrimination or bias. It prevents AI from reinforcing societal inequalities and helps
promote inclusivity. For example, a hiring AI should not reject candidates based on race,
gender, or other discriminatory factors.
3. Define transparency in AI and give an example.
Transparency in AI means that AI systems are clear, understandable, and explainable.
Users should be informed about how AI systems make decisions that affect them. For
instance, if a bank AI rejects a loan application, it should explain the rationale behind
the decision.
4. What does accountability mean in the context of AI?
Accountability refers to ensuring that those who design, develop, and deploy AI systems
are answerable for their impacts. If an AI system makes a mistake, there must be
mechanisms to fix the issue and hold the responsible individuals accountable. For
example, developers of healthcare AI should correct errors if the system suggests
incorrect treatments.
5. Explain how AI can ensure safety in real-world applications.
AI can ensure safety by operating reliably, securely, and predictably while minimizing
risks. For instance, self-driving cars are programmed to avoid accidents, and healthcare
AI must ensure its decisions prioritize patient well-being.
6. What is the significance of respecting privacy in AI?
Respecting privacy safeguards personal information and ensures users have control over
their data. AI must comply with data protection laws, secure user information from
unauthorized access, and avoid collecting or using data without consent.
7. Describe the Consequentialism framework and its application in AI.
Consequentialism focuses on maximizing positive outcomes and minimizing harm. In AI,
it means designing systems to produce the most beneficial results for society. For
example, AI can optimize traffic flow to reduce accidents or allocate healthcare
resources to save the most lives.
8. How does Utilitarianism guide AI decision-making?
Utilitarianism emphasizes actions that maximize overall happiness or benefit for the
greatest number of people. AI systems guided by this framework prioritize decisions that
help the most people, such as healthcare AI focusing on treatments that benefit the
largest number of patients.
9. What is Deontological Ethics, and how does it apply to AI?
Deontological Ethics prioritizes rules and duties over outcomes. In AI, it means systems
must adhere to strict moral principles, such as honesty and fairness. For example, an AI
in legal systems must follow laws strictly, even if the outcome is unpopular.
10.Explain the Virtue Ethics framework in relation to AI ethics.
Ans. Virtue Ethics emphasizes moral character and good human qualities such as
honesty and kindness. In AI, systems are designed to reflect virtues, such as AI assistants
communicating with empathy or business AI making ethical decisions that prioritize
integrity over profit.
11.What is Human-centered AI, and why is it important?
Human-centered AI prioritizes human values, interests, and needs. It ensures AI works
alongside humans rather than replacing them. This framework supports human
decision-making, respects individual choices, and aligns with societal goals, making it
crucial for ethical AI development.
12.Identify three common ethical issues in AI and explain them.
Three common ethical issues in AI are:
 Bias: AI systems can reinforce existing inequalities if trained on biased data, leading
to unfair outcomes.
 Privacy: Unauthorized collection or misuse of personal data can compromise
individuals' privacy.
 Accountability: Lack of clear responsibility for AI decisions can result in ethical and
legal challenges.
13.How can AI developers reduce bias in AI systems?
Developers can reduce bias by carefully selecting and curating training data, conducting
regular audits, and implementing fairness checks during AI development. Diversity in the
teams designing AI systems also helps mitigate bias.
14.Discuss the role of regulations in ensuring ethical AI usage.
Regulations establish legal frameworks to guide AI development and usage, ensuring
compliance with ethical standards like transparency, fairness, and accountability. They
help protect users, prevent misuse, and promote public trust in AI technologies.
15.What steps can be taken to increase public awareness about AI ethics?
Steps can be taken to increase public awareness about AI ethics are:
 Launch educational campaigns and resources on AI ethics.
 Conduct workshops and seminars to engage communities.
 Encourage ethical discussions in media and academic spaces.
 Promote transparency from AI developers and organizations.
