Experts remain divided on the extent to which blockchain technology can truly address some of the ethical and moral questions raised by artificial intelligence (AI), such as trust and responsibility.
The debate has intensified as more organizations embrace AI and other technologies associated with the digital transformation. The use of blockchain, in particular, has been touted as a potential solution to help alleviate some of the trust and responsibility issues raised by AI.
However, there are still many questions that need to be answered before the full potential of blockchain as a solution to the ethical and moral questions raised by AI can be realized.
A major sticking point in the debate is the concept of ‘moral responsibility’ as it relates to AI and blockchain. While some experts view blockchain as the answer to building trust in AI, others argue that it is not the solution.
For example, in order for blockchain-based solutions to address ethical and moral issues raised by AI, it must also consider the human element. It must be able to incorporate regulations, laws, and other considerations in order to ensure that trust is built in a responsible and ethical way.
As such, it remains to be seen if blockchain technology can truly address the ethical and moral questions raised by AI. What is clear, however, is that in order for blockchain to be an effective solution, it must be implemented with a strong understanding of the implications and consequences of its use.
