- Abstract
Purpose: The implementation effort of ethics involves actively entering the current discourse on new technologies, enhancing their credibility and minimizing ethical risks. Ethics can play an important role in enhancing their credibility. Design/methodology/approach: The case method and its application can play an important role in this area. Case studies should not only be the result of specific research and their design but also take into account the current methodological requirements of applied ethics. By presenting a case study, we try to express the optimal variant of a case study and the application of these requirements. Findings: We will try to point towards the establishment and development of the discourse of ethics and new technologies as well as the increasing potential of applied ethics and its constructive role in resolving ethically dilemmatic situations and creating preventive mechanisms for potential ethical failure. Originality/value: The principles of utility minimisation and utility maximisation will trouble us for a long time to come as we introduce them into AI technologies. From this we can see that there will be mainly two dominant ethical theories - utilitarianism with the norm of minimizing the loss of life, health, suffering and deontological ethical theory with the ethical norm concerning the protection of the car passengers, their life. Personally, we would add the ethics of responsibility, which ethicists and lawyers will have to deal with because of not only material responsibility but also, say, loss of life. Here we can be partly inspired by the debate and conclusions on animal ethics.
