Abstract: Abstract As emerging technologies such as AI promote the development of technology to the paradigm of ubiquity and intelligence, it is particularly important to keep an eye on the development trend of technologies and human beings. As we have discussed before, modern technology not only brings benefits but also risks and uncertainties to human society, which makes people begin to worry about the alienation of human society and the loss of human essence caused by technologies. Therefore, how to promote the evolution of technology in the direction of “supporting” rather than “hijacking” human civilization is an issue that needs to be taken seriously. As Martin Rees, a professor at Cambridge University, said, “more technologies are needed to deal with global threats, but they need to be guided by sociology and ethics”. Hence, this chapter mainly discusses some ethical issues related to the evolution and development of human society in AI, including AI consciousness, brain-computer interfaces, and automatic driving.
