Ethics Cafe at UF: Ethics of UF’s AI Initiatives
Smathers (Library East), Room 100 1508 Union Rd, Gainesville, FL, United Statesrelation to job security, requires a comprehensive and ethical approach. Transparency and explainability of AI algorithms are vital to building trust among employees, and ensuring that decision-making processes are understood. Establishing clear ethical AI policies, implementing human-in-the-loop systems, and conducting impact assessments before AI implementation are essential steps. Similarly, fair distribution of AI-derived benefits, job rotation, and flexibility can mitigate concerns about job displacement. Ethical AI audits and active participation in the development of regulatory frameworks contribute to responsible AI deployment. Additionally, striking a balance between efficiency gains from AI and the well-being and job security of the workforce is crucial for creating an ethical and sustainable workplace environment. While there should be no doubt that humans will be at the heart of successful AI implementation, there is clear evidence that AI will transform work environments across industries. According to the World Economic Forum, banking, insurance, and software & platforms are the most likely industries to be significantly affected by AI. For example, the World Economic Forum also predicts that by 2027, the proportion of tasks completed by humans versus machines will be almost even. For comparison, in 2022 the same proportion was 34% to 66% in favor of humans. Moving forward, it is quite clear AI is going to be beneficial in many aspects of the global economy and society; however, how will humans as a whole regulate and determine the ethicality of AI?
