Aligning Artificial Intelligence with human challenges and values

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Following the broad claims about the socioeconomic impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that emerged in the media during 2023, this chapter examines such claims. Further, the chapter recognizes and examines the dangers associated with AI. The claimed redistributive powers of AI need to be understood in light of significant possible risks related to job losses and increasing inequality. Through a structured debate between the chapter’s authors, who weigh these risks and benefits, the authors seek to find common ground between these perspectives and identify how AI advancement could be aligned with human values. Potentially, there are benefits in the education, healthcare, justice, governance and other sectors.
