Milloin tekoälytutkija pohtii tutkimukseensa linkittyviä eettisiä kysymyksiä? Miten näitä kysymyksiä tulisi ratkoa?

Does AI need rules? What is the ‘AI’ the EU is aiming to regulate in its new proposal? How does the regulation affect innovation? What could be the implications internationally and nationally for Finland when EU moves forward with AI regulation?

When discussions turn to artificial intelligence, there is an expectation of complexity. Its implementation, however, is all about simplicity, about making something complex so simple that even a computer could run it.

How is law regulating Artificial Intelligence (AI)? How do we ensure AI applications comply with existing legal rules and principles? Is new regulation needed and if yes, what type of regulation?

The development of ethical artificial intelligence seems to be emerging as a hot topic. Various ethical, fair, and human-centred principles and norms for AI are being publicised around the world. They have a common aim: to list the values considered crucial. When compiled into a code of ethics, they set the goal for doing good in many ways. Since the outlined principles are general in nature, it is often hard to make out what it would take to carry them out, and how they could be put into practice.

“Technologies often do much more and very different things than what they were supposed to achieve.” With this statement, Frederica Lucivero (2018) warns us not take for granted the claims that technology will realize certain values. Instead, we need to analyze the plausibility of such claims, that is, the future (tech) artifact, its use, value and potential impacts.
