Creation of Artificial Intelligence. Ethical and moral consequences

One of the important problems, connected with AI, is what the consequences for people are. And if they are negative, maybe scientists should stop their research and find another subject.

Artificial Intelligence can cause following problems:
•The number of unemployed can increase as a result of automation
•Amount of free time can increase (or decrease)

Arthur C. Clarke wrote that in 2001 people can be faced with extraordinary boredom and choice of TV channel will be their main problem. But instead of shortening of the work hours people are becoming a part of computer-assisted system that works 24 hours a day.

•People can lose a feeling of their uniqueness

Researches, connected with AI, discover that people are some kind of machines. Such ideas can lead to loss of independence and humaneness.
•People can lose their right to private life
For example, development of voice recognition leads to widespread wiretapping and loss of civil liberties.
•Progress of AI can cause the end of human era
Almost every technology can be dangerous, if it’s in ill-intentioned hands. And there’s a new problem. We can watch any film about robots and try to imagine what uncontrolled machines can do…

There are other questions:

What rights will robots have?
What will be the difference between human and robot, if robots can think and feel?
Will a man with 99 % of artificial organs be considered a machine?
We still don’t know answers. But if technology of AI will be developed, people should find them sooner or later.
