Artificial Intelligence and Human Dignity

This article discusses the need for an ethical framework for emerging robotic technologies. The temptation, arguably driven by sci-fi treatments of artificial intelligence, is to ask whether future robots should be considered quasi-humans. This article argues that such sci-fi scenarios have little relevance for current technological developments in robotics, nor for ethical approaches to the subject: for the foreseeable future robots will merely be useful tools. In response to emerging robotic technologies, this article proposes an ethical framework that makes a commitment to human rights, human dignity and responsibility a central priority for those developing robots. At a policy level, this entails (1) assessing whether the use of particular robots would result in human rights violations and (2) creating adequate institutions through which human individuals can be held responsible for what robots do.

Se presenta su dimensión cognitiva y su capacidada para cuestionar programas. Son instancias críticas que preservan la dignidad de los seres humanos en su compleja interacción con las máquinas inteligentes y estimulan un pensamiento no mecánico. Absrtact: This article aims to give an approach to the human rights from the point of view of intelligence in their different types, especially from artificial intelligence, but also from institutional and emotional intelligence. They appear as smart rights that develop the intelligence of the individuals and make societies more intelligent. Their cognitive dimension is shown, as well as their capacity to question programs. They are critical instances that preserve the human dignity in their complex interaction with intelligent machines and stimulate a not-mechanical thinking.

Interesting Area

This paper refers to a critical view about the Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this regards, it causes negative effects on the personal and relational autonomy of individuals. It also benefits the consolidation of certain currents of thought which defend a minimum right. In this way, it suggests a collaborative dimension between different ethics which allow direct a precise legal regulation of AI. This will enable the protection of human dignity as the center of gravity of the legal systems of the Constitutional States. The issue is analyzed taking into consideration a new interesting area for the Legal Philosophy that is called the Biolaw, which results from the crossing between Bioethics and Law.

And Robotics

AbstractThis chapter examines how the processes of human enhancement that have been brought about by the digital revolution (including AI and robotics, besides ICTs) have given rise to new social identities and relationships. The central question consists in asking how the Digital Technological Matrix, understood as a cultural code that supports artificial intelligence and related technologies, causes a hybridisation between the human and the non-human, and to what extent such hybridisation promotes or puts human dignity at risk. Hybridisation is defined here as entanglements and interchanges between digital machines, their ways of operating, and human elements in social practices. The issue is not whether AI or robots can assume human-like characteristics, but how they interact with humans and affect their social identities and relationships, thereby generating a new kind of society.

Algorithmic Bias

We are in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is everywhere. We know surely that it has great impacts to human progress especially in healthcare, education, economics, and environment. Our tasks become easier by the help of AI. Unfortunately, besides its enormous benefit, AI can also be a threat to humanity. What kind of the threat and how theology should contribute? This question is analyzed and answered from moral theology point of view by using the method of contextual theology. This essay finds that algorithmic bias in AI system is a threat to humanity especially in the name of human dignity. Pope John Paul II in his Evangelium Vitae (1995) no 3. says, “Every threat to human dignity and life must necessarily be felt in the Church’s very heart”. It is important and urgent to build a theology vis-a-vis AI. Theology cannot escape from AI especially when it encounters human dignity. While looking toward todays’ impacts of AI, analysis on John Paul II’s thougths on human dignity leads to a meaningful point in Fides et Ratio (1998) about cooperation between theologians, philosophers, and scientists which could be realized through dialogue.
