Ethics of AI

I wasn't going to post this since it's just some thoughts and not a specific event, but something about this time made me think this forum is the best place to share it. Why is there such a huge focus on the ethics of AI and not on the ethics of human decision making? AI is not autonomous, it's designed by humans. <br><br>AI will reflect what we value in this world, which seems very different from how we talk about what we value. We talk about AI destroying the world, but it's not as if a machine is going to make a decision outside of what a person would decide. We're not causing harm in our decision-making? It's not as if this AI is omnipotent and has no limitations. Yet, we're constantly worried about AI making decisions when it seems like humans are making all the decisions. <br><br>We talk about the dangers of AI, but it's not like this AI has AI making decisions. It's going to do what we tell it to do. Where's the focus on that? Everywhere I go I hear, AI will replace doctors, AI will replace teachers, AI will replace drivers and chefs and barbers and more. But who's choosing that? You hear about the dangers of AI - how it will destroy jobs, and how we need to focus on AI and how it's making decisions. <br><br>But, it doesn't. Yet, it's a convenient scapegoat. What if instead of focusing on the dangers of AI, we focused on our own decision-making? What if we were more mindful of how we spend our time, and how we choose to live?
