Language, Technology, and Human Agency: Exploring the Impact of AI on Autonomous Decision-Making
摘要
This research delves into the ethical and social ramifications of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI), particularly within the realms of policing and healthcare. At the heart of this analysis lies the notion of human agency and how AI influences independent decision-making. By investigating the role of AI in processing data and making decisions, the study raises the question of whether these systems are capable of genuine decision-making or if they simply handle information to generate results. It critiques how language shapes the perception of AI as a decision-making force and underscores the potential diminishment of human autonomy in favor of predictive algorithms. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research reviews current literature and offers an analytical viewpoint on how AI-driven language technologies affect human decision-making. The inquiry also tackles broader philosophical inquiries regarding AI, language, and human agency, particularly concerning the implications of AI decisions in the legal and healthcare fields. Ultimately, the study posits that AI may act as a framework for human decision-making, thereby transforming rather than eradicating autonomous agency.
