o:2241 Exploring The Horizon of Science A Brief Introduction to AI Ethics Istražujući horizont nauke: kratak uvod u AI etiku en Godišnjak za psihologiju Vol. 20, 2023, str. 157–175. In recent years, a modern field of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics has been emerging. Today, there is virtually no sphere of social functioning untouched by AI in one form or another. Furthermore, the functional autonomy possessed by these intelligent systems is rapidly increasing. All indications suggest that this trend will continue and likely intensify in the near future. In this process, it is natural for important questions to arise that warrant thorough philosophical and psychological analysis. Timely engagement with these issues could prevent potential disagreements and unwanted outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide a brief introduction to the emerging field of AI ethics, highlighting the problems and questions that the contemporary field of AI ethics addresses. It is based on the recognition of the inseparability of any ethical discussion from its psychological antecedents and consequences. The paper will first delve into the definition of artificial intelligence, as well as the definition of AI ethics and its subject of inquiry. It will then explore the most significant questions and issues in AI ethics (in terms of urgency), including autonomous systems, machine bias, the problem of opacity (i.e., the “black box” problem), machine consciousness, technological singularity, and other important topics addressed by AI ethics. Finally, the paper will discuss the researchers and professionals engaged in AI ethics, the interest of psychologists in AI ethics, and their potentially critical role in this emerging scientific field. artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, machine bias, the problem of opacity (the black box problem), machine consciousness, technological singularity etika veštačke inteligencije (AI etika), mašinska pristrasnost, problem prozirnosti (problem crne kutije), mašinska svest, tehnološki singularitet 1552099 10.46630/gpsi.20.2023.09 1552101 1451-5407 2024-02-06T13:34:18.016Z 44 yes 46 Miloš Stojadinović Filozofski fakultet 79392265 0000-0001-6535-2945 2023 application/pdf str. 157-175 392678 https://phaidrani.ni.ac.rs/o:2241 no yes 18 70 11 1065786 1065833 92000002 2023 18A13 18A1304 157 175 Filozofski fakultet u Nišu 2023
