An Overview of the AI Ecosystem from the Perspective of Information Philosophy: Ethical Issues and Solutions
Cybernetics and information science deeply change our traditional social, political and philosophical experiences and shape them with new ways and methods. With reference to the concept of atmosphere described by geographical science, artificial intelligence ecosystem models and the infosphere created by information technologies are new activity areas of our age. Today's people, who have entered the influence of the pragmatic comfort zone with the information revolution and who carry out their intellectual and economic actions through smart systems, have had to face ethical problems in the face of the new-old dilemma. Indeed, innovative artificial intelligence-based applications are preferred instead of traditional human-oriented applications in daily and corporate works. In the development of artificial intelligence and its ecosystem, the focus is on pragmatic benefit rather than the value area belonging to humans. This attitude often causes ethical values to remain in the background while developing the goals of artificial intelligence technologies. The study deals with the ethical problems in artificial intelligence and its ecosystem and the artificial intelligence ecosystem model that preserves the ethical development of humans. Additionally, a human-centered AI ecosystem model is proposed that argues its applicability to AI ethical policies.
