Practice

1. Who is mainly responsible when an AI system makes a mistake?

easy

A. The AI itself because it acts independently

B. The people who designed and programmed the AI

C. No one, mistakes are just accidents

D. Only the users who operate the AI

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand AI as a tool created by humans

   AI systems are designed and programmed by people, so they do not act on their own without human input.

2. Step 2: Assign responsibility to creators

   Since humans build and train AI, they are responsible for its mistakes, not the AI itself or users alone.

3. Final Answer:

   The people who designed and programmed the AI -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Responsibility lies with creators = A [OK]

Hint: Remember: AI is a tool, humans build it [OK]

3. Final Answer:

   Developers must ensure AI follows ethical guidelines -> Option A
