Abstract:
Emerging technologies and digitalization have an impact on our daily lives and are present in an increasing number of fields. Therefore, researchers have long studied the ethical ramifications of the digitalization process. The debate over law and ethics has expanded due to artificial intelligence’s (AI) quick growth. There is no question that AI has the potential to benefit society. But here, the emphasis is on its more detrimental effects. In particular, this article will look at how the law and ethics interact when a disabled person needs some sort of assistive technology in order to participate in society as an equal member. This essay seeks to determine if the EU Guidelines for Trustworthy AI, as a turning point in technological ethics, have the potential to alter the way social and economic rights are now exercised. The ethical standards of “Human agency and oversight” and, specifically, “fundamental rights” are the article’s key points of emphasis.
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, digitalization, ethics, technological ethics, and reliable AI.
Introduction
Winston and Edelbach (2011) discuss two separate viewpoints—techno-pessimism and techno-optimism—when describing the difficulty of determining an attitude toward technologies. Techno-optimists place emphasis on the advantages that technologies offer to society and maintain confidence that technological solutions will address any potential problems with technology, in contrast to techno-pessimists who concentrate on the negative aspects of technology and are skeptical of technological solutions. This can be connected to two historical stages of technological analyses from a philosophical perspective: the first being mid-twentieth-century critiques of classical hermeneutic theory that emphasize the harms that contemporary technologies inflict on people, and the second being an empirical approach that views technology as aspects defined socially by local use. Jacque Ellul, a philosopher who thought that technology had advanced at such a quick rate that people could not control it and therefore considered it as rather destructive, is a famous example of the first historical phase. The second phase approach, on the other hand, departs from a general technology approach and adopts a more nuanced approach, looking at local narratives, analyzing each technology separately and empirically, and viewing it within the values and culture of those societies that use the given technology (see, for example, Brey, 2010; Verbeek, 2011).
