Consideration and suggestion on the concept of "responsibility" in the sophisticated information society
Project Outline
If a certain person's judgment has caused damage or harm to others and society, it is natural to blame her/him. If, however, artificial intelligence (AI)'s judgment has caused damage or harm, who is the one whom we should blame? The developers? The users? AI itself? Or, in the case of AI, is it inappropriate for us to blame anyone?
In order to give a persuasive answer to this question, we aim to offer suitable concepts of responsibility, which will act as the foundational concept in the sophisticated information society, even based on the traditional and cultural understanding of responsibility. More specifically, we will shed light on the diversity of the concept(s) of responsibility formed in current laws and education as well as in the history of ideas and culture, and from this light we will capture the present state of AI development and society.
