Do Less Teaching, Do More Coaching: Toward Critical Thinking for Ethical Applications of Artificial Intelligence
Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, v6 n2 p97-100 2021
There have been discussions suggesting an ethics committee be established which would oversee humanity's efforts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications to our society. This concern arises mostly because of the limitations of existing data used for the development of AI algorithms that intrinsically reflect unfair and discriminatory factors of the real world in which we live. However, it is hard to find a paper that philosophically addresses a pedagogical issue about the necessary shift from strict teaching to informative guidance: i.e., a conversation about developing the discernment and critical thinking skills which would allow people who use AI-integrated services to themselves monitor the AI's ethical applications and thus secure the well-being of our society. This paper is differentiated from other papers in that it sheds light on the social problems that can arise if people become uncritically compliant with unethical and indiscriminate applications of AI, and it conveys the lesson that contemporary ordinary citizens should be alert to these pitfalls as well.
