A global perspective on AI The rise of AI and super-intelligent AI raises ethical issues. AI is the power behind Googles search engine, enables social media sites to serve up targeted advertising, gives Alexa and Siri their voices, and enables OpenAIs ChatGPT to produce written responses from just a few prompts by the user. It is also the technology enabling self-driving vehicles, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without direct human intervention. All of these bring up complex ethical issues that are still unresolved and will continue to be the subject of ongoing debate.
