Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Its Place in Society

Luiz Moutinho

The early 2020s have been marked by a surge of interest in artificial intelligence (AI), and it has grown to be one of the hottest topics in computer science, business technology research, and educational technologies. Despite AI winters in the 1970s and 1990s, where interest and subsequently adequate funding for AI research ceased, and as the technology and its usefulness become more perceptible, often with brilliant results, society is once again ready to investigate this powerful technology and its potential. However, a challenge arises when AI is called into question in an ethical context. It is important that we explore how it can contribute to the resolution of ethical, social, and environmental issues and also to address growing concerns around AI developing emergent bias as well as the human application of AI for malicious purposes. With recent AI-based writing technologies, concerns around academic integrity abound and challenge our perceptions of authenticity in writing. A careful assessment of these technologies, their usefulness and potential harm, and strategic solutions to maintaining ethical standards and regulation of the technology is a necessity for the maintenance of civilized life amidst these tools. Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Its Place in Society evaluates various aspects of artificial intelligence including the range of technologies, their advantages and disadvantages, and how AI systems operate. Spanning from machine learning to deep learning, philosophical insights, societal concerns, and the newest approaches to AI, it helps to develop an appreciation for and breadth of knowledge across the full range of AI sub-disciplines including neural networks, evolutionary computation, computer vision, robotics, expert systems, speech processing, and natural language processing. Led Dr. Luiz Moutinho of the University of Suffolk in the United Kingdom, who has won several awards for his academic literature, this book provides academic market-scholars; researchers and students of philosophy, sociology, economics, and education; as well as corporate scientists with a comprehensive collection of core research elements, concepts, advances, applications, evidence, and outcomes related to artificial intelligence.

Perspectives on Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing

Keshav Kaushik

Cybersecurity has emerged to address the need for connectivity and seamless integration with other devices and vulnerability assessment to find loopholes. However, there are potential challenges ahead in meeting the growing need for cybersecurity. This includes design and implementation challenges, application connectivity, data gathering, cyber-attacks, and cyberspace analysis. Perspectives on Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing familiarizes readers with in-depth and professional hacking and vulnerability scanning subjects. The book discusses each of the processes and tools systematically and logically so that the reader can see how the data from each tool may be fully exploited in the penetration test's succeeding stages. This procedure enables readers to observe how the research instruments and phases interact. This book provides a high level of understanding of the emerging technologies in penetration testing, cyber-attacks, and ethical hacking and offers the potential of acquiring and processing a tremendous amount of data from the physical world. Covering topics such as cybercrimes, digital forensics, and wireless hacking, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Bioethics

Daniel J. Bussel

Bioethics: Health Care Law and Ethics uses a variety of legal and interdisciplinary materials to engage students in the study of the intersection of bioethics and law. It includes judicial opinions, statutes, regulations and policies from health care organizations and professional associations to give students insight into the strategies and methods used by courts, legislatures, administrative agencies, and health care organizations to address issues in bioethics. The book draws from interdisciplinary research to provide critiques of legal and policy issues. Materials in this text are tightly edited and designed to create high quality and focused classroom discussion. They include classroom-tested problems that engage students with the material.This text begins with an introductory chapter that provides a valuable foundation for exploring the relationship between law and ethics in the rest of the book. It begins by presenting a practical method for ethical analysis of specific cases. It next provides an accessible survey of the most influential theories of ethics in bioethics, including foundational theories, principlism, natural law, and critical race, feminist, and disability theories. The chapter then revisits the relationship between law and ethics through more specific examples, including the role of conscience and informed consent law. Finally, this chapter highlights issues of justice and equity incorporated throughout the remaining chapters.As health care access has increasingly been viewed as matter for bioethics and health care ethics, Chapter 2 covers Discrimination and Unequal Treatment in Health Care. This chapter has been significantly expanded with new cases on sex discrimination in the areas of reproductive and gender-affirming care. Its focus has also been expanded beyond discrimination in medical decision-making and access to providers, to include concerns about discriminatory insurance design. Finally, we've expanded our discussion of the conflicts arising out of religious objections to nondiscrimination mandates.The chapter on Reproduction and Birth has been updated with material on the most recent controversies and developments concerning abortion, contraception, and assisted reproductive technology (ART). It has also expanded its discussion of issues implicating reproductive justice concerns, such as forced or coerced sterilizations, denial of ART, and forced medical interventions and other liberty infringements of pregnant women—all of which have been disproportionately used on groups that have been subject to systemic discrimination and subordination.This text includes several chapters on health care decision making in the context of life and death decisions. The material on Organ Transplantation and Determination of Death includes the basic framework for organ transplantation as well as new protocols for retrieval of organs after withdrawal of medical treatment. It also includes cases and notes on current controversies on the viability of the brain death standard. Two chapters treat what has been known as "end of life" decision making, including the legal and ethical norms for withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment and the legal and ethical status of medically assisted dying.The chapter on Regulation of Research Involving Human Subjects treats both the federal regulation of research through the Common Rule and the impact of state law (primarily through private litigation over the rights of individuals participating in research). This chapter includes coverage of biobanks, public health research, research with children and other issues. Finally, the book closes with a significantly expanded chapter on Population Health and Public Health, analyzing the interaction between individual rights and community claims and incorporating important developments arising out of the challenges to COVID-19 pandemic public health measures.

Philosophical Issues of Human Cyborgization and the Necessity of Prolegomena on Cyborg Ethics

Ivana Greguric

We are currently living in an age of scientific humanism. Cyborgs, robots, avatars, and bio-technologically created beings are new entities that exist alongside biological human beings. As with many emerging technologies, many people will find the concept foreign and frightening. There is a strong possibility that these entities will be mistreated. Philosophical Issues of Human Cyborgization and the Necessity of Prolegomena on Cyborg Ethics discusses the ethics of human cyborgization as well as emerging technologies of robots and avatars that exhibit human-like qualities. The chapters build a strong case for the necessity of cyborg ethics and protocols for preserving the vitality of life within an ever-advancing technological society. Covering topics such as cyborg hacking, historical reality, and naturalism, this book is a dynamic resource for scientists, ethicists, cyber behavior professionals, students and professors of both technological and philosophical studies, faculty of higher education, philosophers, AI engineers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and academicians.

Practicing Bioethics Law

Leslie C. Griffin

Practicing Bioethics Law provides basic readings in the field of bioethics law, including court cases, statutes, administrative regulations, briefs, and law review and other academic articles. The text presents theoretical debates about the latest bioethical subjects as well as practice-based materials that expose students to a wide range of possible bioethics-related careers. The book's companion website provides practice documents, videos, pictures, scientific materials and other information that is too complex to include in a traditional casebook. The authors combined the book and the website so readers could learn more about the practice of bioethics law at the same time they are beginning to understand the theory and content of bioethics law. The second edition includes updated materials on the meaning of informed consent, death and dying, reproductive rights, the ways in which advances in genetics (including CRISPR) affect patent and other rights, genetic editing, and neuroethics, as well as discussions of the ways in which bioethics has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
