Artificial Intelligence and Bioethics

The fourth industrial revolution challenges humanity ethically and morally: mass unemployment, new forms of colonialism, and mass-and-granular surveillance are a few examples of those challenges. Nevertheless, the industrial revolutions have increased human productivity and quality of life. This book aims to review the ethical challenges related to the use of these technologies. It unfolds bioethical perspectives regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on life on earth. It discusses, both northern and southern epistemologies of Bioethics. Northern bioethics comprises principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Southern goes beyond embracing the struggles for human liberation, social justice, and the pluralism of knowledge. The book discusses topics from Aging to mass surveillance to deliver a universal bioethical guideline to a wide range of professions that work with AI and are concerned about its impact on life. This book will not label AI but broaden readers' view of an ethical and explainable AI that works for life on earth.
