This lecture delves into the ethical implications of AI technology, focusing on justice and fairness in society. The instructor discusses the distribution of resources, the impact of AI on job markets, and the importance of considering social and personal aspects in decision-making. Drawing from the theory of justice, the lecture explores the concept of fairness as a process-based approach, emphasizing the need to address power dynamics and risk allocation within companies and society. Examples are provided to illustrate how the 'veil of ignorance' can lead to more just outcomes in technology-related discussions and policy-making.
