Week 5 Assignment: Legal & Ethical Issues of AI in Business
PROMPT:
In your learning materials, you have read about legal issues and ethical concerns relating to the use of various types of AI in business. Research current AI news for an item published no earlier than the past year that reports and illustrates a current—or forecasts a future—example of an ethical or legal issue pertaining to the use or function of AI in business. This could be an event that has occurred, a case in litigation, legislation (passed or pending), or regulation (passed or pending), or another issue.

This must be an explanatory article that includes objective analysis, not simply a “news blurb” or a slanted opinion piece. This will be your “keynote article” for this Assignment.

Using your keynote article as the basis for your topic of this Assignment, complete all of the following:

Research and writing – APA7 Paper
Research and evaluate the legal and/or ethical issue identified in your selected keynote article, including other or related examples illustrating the issue with the use of AI.

When you have gathered your research and studied the issue, write an APA Style 7th Edition paper that does the following:

Summarizes the specific event or problem reported in the keynote article, including the type of AI involved, its subfield, its use, the specific company involved (if there is one) and/or stakeholders affected
Identifies the legal or ethical issue with the use of this specific AI
Includes descriptive examples of the issue in the application of the AI
Explains the risk to business posed by the issue
Identifies who was (is), or could be, harmed
Recommends whether the issue can be prevented or mitigated, and how; or whether the AI application should be used at all because of the issue
