for educational policies.
From the regulatory point of view, ethical considerations provide the fundamental basis
from which new regulations and laws are created and justified.
From a developmental
point of view, ethics and value judgements underpin fundamental concepts such as
agency, responsibility,
identity, freedoms, and human capabilities. In supervised AI
learning models, the possible choice outcomes need to be provided to the system before
it starts to learn. This means that the world becomes described in closed terms, based on
predefined interests and categories. Furthermore, the categories are based on data that
are collected in the past. Neural AI categorizes people in clusters where data from other
people, considered similar by the system, is used to predict individual characteristics and
behaviour.
From political and ethical points of view, this is highly problematic. Human agency means
that we can
make choices about future acts, and thus become responsible for them.
When AI systems predict our acts using historical data averaged over a large number of
other persons, AI systems cannot understand people who make true choices or who
break out from historical patterns of behaviour.
AI can therefore also limit the
