Write a well-researched and well-written response to the question below. Your response MUST be reflective of graduate-level work, MUST properly cite any external, secondary sources used to develop your response and MUST answer the question.

Background

Ethical implications and moral questions will certainly arise from the development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. For example, self-driving autonomous cars are likely to raise issues in relation to product liability that could lead to more complex cases (currently insurers typically avoid lawsuits by determining which driver is at fault, unless a car defect is involved).

Develop a well-researched, well-written, three (3) page paper that addresses the following questions.

While these questions ask you to provide an opinion, in order to receive full credit for your response, you should be certain that you substantiate your opinions/responses through the use of secondary sources.

1. Was it appropriate, ethical for humans to create artificial intelligence (AI)? Why? Why not?
2. Do we need artificial intelligence (AI) ethics? Why? Why not?
3. Can a "technology be ethical or unethical?"
4. Is AI technology in a neutral state until it is applied or embedded into an application?
5. Does AI become ethical or unethical only after it is "turned on?"
6. What do you foresee as some of the ethical issues evolving, as a result of the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) into mainstream society?
