Problem
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced significantly in the last decade. AI technology, especially Deep Learning, enable face recognition in many domains. For examples, several airports and border crossings in US and Australia are implementing facial recognition to increase security; some schools are using face recognition at their campuses to assess attendance, as well as mitigate security risks.
You work at a software company that develops systems applying advanced AI technologies. A leading supermarket in Australia is approaching your company to develop a face recognition system. The system aims to prevent and reduce shoplifting, monitor and analyse customer behaviours to promote their products and services, and in the near future for checkout-free shopping, where customers will be able to take the product off the shelf, put it in their basket, walk out and have it all paid for.Define the problem according to Step 1 in PLUS Ethical Decision Making Model
In order to make decision, whom are you going seek assistance from? What are the guidance and documents are you going to collect in this process?
In PLUS model step 3, identify two available alternative solutions to the problem.
Evaluate the two alternatives you identify in Question 3 according to step 4 in PLUS model.
What are the policies or guidelines should be developed to connect properly to ethics issues in this project?
