A chapter in Socio-economic Impact of Artificial Intelligence, 2024, pp 1-5 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various aspects of our lives, raising significant ethical concerns about its use and governance. This chapter explores the parallels between ancient oracles and modern AI systems, emphasizing the need for ethical oversight. It introduces the concept of “algorethics”, merging algorithmic efficiency with ethical reasoning to ensure AI operates within ethical boundaries. The chapter also discusses the role of blockchain technology in providing transparency and accountability for AI processes. By integrating blockchain with AI, it is possible to create immutable records of AI operations, ensuring integrity and traceability. This approach addresses the critical question of “Who watches the watchmen?” by decentralizing control and involving human judgement in governance, thus promoting a more democratic and ethically sound use of AI.
