Ethical Perspectives of New Technologies: A View from Political Science

Abstract

People use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithms every day. The changes introduced by the new emerging technologies (computer-internet; robotics, drones, etc.), the so-called industry 4.0, and the new applications used in the public sphere, have created a new type of citizen; the “digital citizen”. That is why a special sensitivity and commitment on the part of public operators is needed to anticipate and solve the problems that may arise from its application. In this study, we analyze numerous applications and controversial situations that need public policies reviewed by governments.
