Abstract
Debates and sensationalized presentations of artificial intelligence (AI) across the media and in scientific and industrial contexts have shaped public perception of its potential benefits; but the profound potential for harm ought to be acknowledged. This chapter provides a theoretical insight into how AI can be objectively debated amidst the hyperbole surrounding its implementation and the potential for the inaccessible to be made accessible over forthcoming months and years. A new level of paradigmatic sufficiency in terms of underpinning future practice with due regard for the ethical philosophy and sociology within which it will be based.
