You are working to develop an online venture. It is your goal to make a difference. Whether your project is for-profit or not-for-profit, you must raise revenue (in the case of a not-for-profit you must sustain the cause), so you will need to use one of the online business models. In developing a plan, you must take into consideration the potential ethical concerns, social impacts and legal issues involved in undertaking the venture.
The business idea:
My paper topic will be a non-profit venture that develops decision-making artificial intelligence (AI). This AI will employ reinforcement learning (RL) agents, each specializing in a certain relevant domain with a reasonable scope, and must vote on topics. In other words, this would be a parliamentary government comprised of RL agents. Each RL agent will have a number of votes according to the democratic population’s votes of confidence.
The research by Han et al. (2021) is relevant as it discusses how we might align AI with human values. Khalil (1993) discusses three primary concerns about AI making ethical decisions, including a lack of emotions and values. Bolton et al. (2022) apply theories of ethics and AI to the case of using AI as a decision-support system for antimicrobial use. Siau and Wang (2020) dive deep into the ethics background related to AI decision-making. All these sources are relevant in informing us about the research regarding the ethics of AI making ethical decisions.
In a well-written paper, develop a plan that addresses the above considerations. You should also include the following in your plan:
a basic overview of the online venture, including its mission;
the type of online business model to be used for the venture;
a summary of how this venture will appeal to various cultures;
an analysis of the affects this venture might have on various cultures;
any ethical issues this business can address, could encounter, or both;
potential risks associated with operating an online venture such as this one;
strategies for protecting privacy;
discussion of any needed copyrights, trademarks, patents, or trade secrets, if applicable; and
potential benefits brought about by this venture.
