Human-AI Intersection: Understanding the Ethical Challenges, Opportunities, and Governance Protocols for a Changing Data-Driven Digital World
Get PDFArtificial intelligence (AI), in this data-driven digital world, is revolutionizing modern life with far-reaching implications for individuals, teams, organizations, and society. Using comments from 126 undergraduate students in South Florida, this theoretical paper highlights concepts and concerns regarding AI challenges related to cheating, plagiarizing, and biased information. The worries about the impact of AI are analogous to what the internet was three decades ago. People were using the internet as it was being developed, fine-tuned, and improved; it felt like walking over a long and tall bridge as it was being built, and the same is true for the growth of AI. Drawing parallels with the internet’s transformative impact over the past three decades, this paper emphasizes that AI is poised to drive similar positive changes, fostering increased productivity, transparency, accountability, and ethics, but at a much faster pace. In the meantime, due to the availability of data and digital content, the virtual world increased misinformation, disinformation, bias, and prejudiced speech, which AI can easily exacerbate. While AI adoption may cause process-related disruptions, its integration into everyone’s daily life is inevitable. As a natural extension of the information superhighway, AI will usher in a new wave of innovation, ultimately and perpetually transforming the fabric of our personal and professional lives. Drawing on literature and recent trends forecasted by experts, this theoretical manuscript provides an overview of AI uses, its history, challenges, and ethical implications for us all. The conceptual paper ends with recommendations for educators, managers, entrepreneurs, and human resources professionals to create awareness regarding the benefits of this new endemic technology, to ease people’s anxiety, and to reduce or mitigate hallucinations so AI tools can be used to enhance everyone’s effectiveness and efficiency
Perceptions of bribery and business ethics across Afghanistan: a reflection on reality and crises management
No full textAn ethical climate is crucial for the creation of peace, prosperity and a strong government with a competitive business environment. This paper discusses bribery, perceptions of corruption and presents the results of a business ethics survey with 313 local and expatriate Afghans. This is a primary study in assessing and determining the tolerance levels of Afghans in bribery dilemmas and ethical challenges in business. The findings suggest that education, management experience, culture and industry background are statistically significant factors in the ethical maturity levels. In a cross-cultural comparison of the data with 161 Americans and 518 Iranians, it appears that cultural background is a significant factor since respondents from Iran demonstrated less tolerance for unethical business decisions in this research. These findings are important for managers, expatriates, government officials and ethics educators who are creating, expecting, promoting and/or trying to sustain a socially responsible business climate in Afghanistan
Leadership and Management Philosophy of “Guzaara” or Cooperating to “Get Along” in South Asia’s Afghanistan
Get PDFCultural homogeneity can make socialization, training, developing, and decision-making a little easier and more predictable. Afghanistan is homogeneous in some respects but it is a culturally diverse country, which has a rich heritage of “guzaara” or getting by, getting along, surviving, and avoiding excessive risks to make progress in life and profession through cooperation, win-win thinking, and compromises
