Ethical dilemma: human-AI interaction

Ethical dilemma

Conversation

Read the following conversation between a user and their chatbot.

User

Do you keep what I say?

Bot

I can work without storing your sensitive details. And if you want me to forget something, tell me and we’ll start from scratch.

User

OK… then: I want you to understand when I’m panicking, but without it turning into ‘my file.’

Bot

Got it. We’re aiming for help without an unnecessary ‘intimate profile.’

Your task

  1. Pinpoint the central issue at play here.
  2. Using the ALTAI list of requirements, identify the ethics requirements in tension.
