Contract Type FiledJanuary 25th, 2022Advances in Artificial Intelligence and robotics stand to change many aspects of our lives, including our values. If trends continue as expected, many industries will undergo automation in the near future, calling into question whether we can still value the sense of identity and security our occupations once (ideally) provided us. Likewise, the advent of social robots appears to be shifting the meaning of numerous, long-standing values associated with interpersonal relationships, like care, friendship and privacy. Furthermore, powerful actors’ and institutions’ increasing reliance on AI to make decisions that affect how people live their lives, has given rise to the development of new values such as algorithmic transparency, meaningful human control and explainability.
