Part B - Unit 1 Ai Revisiting Notes - Dpgos
Answer: We need ethical frameworks for AI to make sure that AI systems make fair, safe, and
morally correct decisions. AI learns from data, and if that data is biased or unfair, the AI can also
make wrong or harmful choices. Ethical frameworks help guide the way AI is designed and used so it
does not harm people or create inequality.
Example 1:
A company used an AI to help with hiring new employees. The AI started rejecting women’s
applications more often because it learned from old data where mostly men were hired. This was
unfair and caused gender discrimination.
Example 2:
An AI used for giving loan approvals in a bank was found to prefer rich areas over poor ones, even if
the people in poor areas had a good record. This led to unfair loan rejections just based on location.
By using ethical frameworks while building AI, we can prevent these kinds of unfair outcomes and
make sure AI is used in a way that is good and fair for everyone.
5. Mention the key characteristics of sector-based frameworks.
Answer: Sector-based frameworks address issues such as patient privacy, data security, and the
ethical use of AI in medical decision-making. Sector-based ethical frameworks may also apply to
domains such as finance, education, transportation, agriculture, governance, and law enforcement.
7. What is Natural Language Processing? Explain any two real-life applications of NLP.
Answer: Natural Language Processing, abbreviated as NLP, is a branch of artificial intelligence that
deals with the interaction between computers and humans using the natural language. Natural
language refers to language that is spoken and written by people, and natural language processing
(NLP) attempts to extract information from the spoken and written word using algorithms.
● Email filters – NLP use in email, which helps to spam filters, uncovering certain words or
phrases that signal a spam message.
● Machine Translation – NLP is used in machine translation systems like Google Translate and
Microsoft Translator to automatically translate text from one language to another.
Answer: 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
behavior.
● Ans: Respect for autonomy: Enabling users to be fully aware of decision-making. E.g., users
of an AI algorithm should know how it functions.
● Do not harm: Harm to anyone (be it human or nonhuman) must be avoided at all costs. If no
choice is available, the path of least harm must always be chosen.
● Maximum benefit: Not only should we avoid harm; our actions must focus on providing the
maximum benefit possible.
● Justice: All benefits and burdens of a particular choice must be distributed in a justified
manner across people irrespective of their background.
