SUBJECT: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
CLASS: X PART B: SUBJECT SPECIFIC SKILLS ____________________________________________________________________________ UNIT-1: Revisiting AI Project Cycle & Ethical Frameworks for AI
Answer the following questions:
1. What do you think Artificial Intelligence is? Ans: When a machine possesses the ability to mimic human traits, i.e., make decisions, predict the future, learn and improve on its own, it is said to have artificial intelligence. In other words, you can say that a machine is artificially intelligent when it can accomplish tasks by itself - collect data, understand it, analyse it, learn from it, and improve it.
2. Which type of data is used in the three domains of AI?
Ans: The following type of data is used in the three domains of AI: a) Computer Vision, is an AI domain works with videos and images enabling machines to interpret and understand visual information. For example- Surveillance Systems b) Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an AI domain focused on textual data enabling machines to comprehend, generate, and manipulate human language. For example- Email filters c) Statistical Data refers to statistical techniques to analyse, interpret and draw insights from numerical/tabular data. For example- Price Comparison Websites
3. Define the following:
a) Non-maleficence: It refers to the ethical principle of avoiding causing harm or negative consequences. It emphasizes the obligation to minimize harm as much as possible and prioritize actions that prevent harm to individuals, communities, or the environment. b) Beneficence: It refers to the ethical principle of promoting and maximizing the well- being and welfare of individuals and society. It emphasizes taking actions that produce positive outcomes and contribute to the overall good, ensuring that the greatest benefit is achieved for all stakeholders involved.
4. Outline the main steps in the AI Project Cycle briefly.
Ans: There are six stages of an AI Project Cycle: a) Problem Scoping – This is the first stage of an AI project cycle. Problem scoping means selecting a problem and finding a solution for it using AI technology. b) Data Acquisition – This stage is about acquiring data for the project. Data can be a piece of information or facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis. Whenever we want an AI project to be able to predict an output, we need to train it first using data. c) Data Exploration – It refers to the techniques and tools used to visualize data through complex statistical methods. It is the process of analyzing a large data set. d) Modeling – It is the design phase of the project cycle. In this, we select the best way to reach the solution. AI Modelling refers to developing algorithms, also called models which can be trained to get intelligent outputs. e) Evaluation - Evaluation is the process of understanding the reliability of any AI model, based on outputs by feeding test dataset into the model and comparing with actual answers. There can be different Evaluation techniques, depending of the type and purpose of the model. f) Deployment - Deployment as the final stage in the AI project cycle where the AI model or solution is implemented in a real-world scenario.
5. What is the necessity for Ethical Frameworks in AI development?
Ans: Ethical frameworks ensure that AI makes morally acceptable choices. If we use ethical frameworks while building our AI solutions, we can avoid unintended outcomes, even before they take place!
6. Mention the key characteristics of sector-based frameworks.
Ans: The key characteristics of sector-based frameworks are: 1. These are frameworks tailored to specific sectors or industries. 2. In the context of AI, one common sector-based framework is Bioethics, which focuses on ethical considerations in healthcare. 3. It addresses issues such as patient privacy, data security, and the ethical use of AI in medical decision-making. 4. Sector-based ethical frameworks may also apply to domains such as finance, education, transportation, agriculture, governance, and law enforcement.
7. What do you mean by Bioethics? What are the principles of Bioethics?
Ans: Bioethics is an ethical framework used in healthcare and life sciences. It deals with ethical issues related to health, medicine, and biological sciences, ensuring that AI applications in healthcare adhere to ethical standards and considerations. Principles of bioethics: • Respect for Autonomy. • Do not harm. • Ensure maximum benefit for all. • Give justice. 8. How do value-based frameworks contribute to ethical decision-making by emphasizing fundamental principles and values? Ans: Value-based frameworks focus on fundamental ethical principles and values guiding decision- making. It reflects the different moral philosophies that inform ethical reasoning. Value-based frameworks are concerned with assessing the moral worth of actions and guiding ethical behaviour. They can be further classified into three categories: a) Rights-based: Prioritizes the protection of human rights and dignity, valuing human life over other considerations. It emphasizes the importance of respecting individual autonomy, dignity, and freedoms. b) Utility-based: Evaluates actions based on the principle of maximizing utility or overall good, aiming to achieve outcomes that offer the greatest benefit and minimize harm. It seeks to maximize overall utility or benefit for the greatest number of people. c) Virtue-based: This framework focuses on the character and intentions of the individuals involved in decision-making. It asks whether the actions of individuals or organizations align with virtuous principles such as honesty, compassion, and integrity.
