What should we think about the ethical issues that arise, such as the changing role of intelligent machines in this Information Age? The impact of technology upon society is a perennial question, but the power of computing and artificial intelligence has ratcheted up the ethical implications of this relationship. It merits careful consideration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEthics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age brings together a cohort of international scholars to explore the ethical ramifications of the latest technologies and their effects on our lives. This it does in three parts: (1) theoretical considerations, (2) practical applications, and (3) challenges. Beginning with theoretical essays, the book investigates the relationship between technology and nature, the limits of being “human” versus “machine,” and the moral implications of artificial intelligence. The book then examines key questions; such as ownership of technology, artificial intelligence’s replacement of human jobs and functions, privacy and cybersecurity, the ethics of self-driving cars, and the problematic aspects of drone warfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an appendix of films and documentaries to inspire further discussion on these topics, students and scholars will find Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age an essential and engaging resource both in the classroom and in their daily technology-filled lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART ONE: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 1: Ethical Theory, Applied Ethics, and Professional Ethics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Boylan, “Ethical Reasoning”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Boylan, “‘Nature’ as a Background Condition”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 2: Humans and Machines: A New Ethical Paradigm?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorgan Luck and Stephen Clarke, “Transformative Technologies, the Status Quo and (Religious) Institutions”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelicia Nimue Ackerman, “Transhumanism: Is this a Step Forward?”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark Vopat, \"A.I. and Human Rights: Present and Future Moral Challenges”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART TWO: APPLICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 1: The Practical Scope of TechnologyEthics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid E.
