Social Challenges of Artificial Intelligence: The Case of Lethal Autonomous System
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Social Challenges, Lethal Autonomous SystemsAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform our society in a way that is still difficult to predict but whose implications are going to be deeper than previous technological developments. For the first time in our history, we will be dealing with non-human intelligences, able to perform tasks with direct implications over our material reality with consequences that can even result in direct human casualties. Through this article, we will try to provide elements for the social debate that is structured around the future of AI and its relationship with humanity, by analysing some of the social challenges attached to its core, using the lethal autonomous systems as a paradigmatic manifestation of those risks. This article will present some of the main problems attached to the technology that underlines the urgent need for regulation and deeper analysis about its potential ramifications.
