Abstract: This article is about the ethics of granting decision-making capabilities to computers. Some possible roles of decision-making computers are articulated, as well as the effects of placing computers in such positions. The essential ingredients for creating an effective business intelligence computer are discussed. Kevin Bowyer, author of Ethics In Computing, puts forward a question as the only ethical dilemma unique to the field of computing. (Bowyer 3) He asks, “To what extent should decision-making be handed over to a machine?” In this article, I would like to explore some of the questions around this topic, which I will generalize into the question "Is human judgment essential to a decision-making process?" After discussing the impacts that the answer to this question might have on human institutions, I will ultimately conclude that human judgment is an essential ingredient of decision-making, but not necessarily at a fixed point in the process. sensory computers can be used in a decision-making process. As computers come closer and closer to the range of capabilities that humans are capable of, the more they will be able to play an active role in organizing our lives. Consider, for example, the role of a bank's IT systems. Although one could argue that computerized record keeping is more of a tool than an active force, accounting was once an activity reserved entirely for individuals. It is therefore a somewhat mechanized activity. It is not inaccurate to say that the pen has moved from human to digital hands. Concretely, what are the differences? Perhaps human accounting allowed for some degree of oversight, for example illegal activities were easier to track. (However, it could also work the other way, and the efficiency of computers could introduce this type of surveillance.) The point of this example is to demonstrate that every action - or lack of action - taken by a person can be seen as contributing to some sort of decision. If an accountant detects an error or suspicious activity, he or she may be able to act in ways that a computer cannot. From the above perspective, there isn't much that computers can't intervene in. Some examples include computers that automatically fix problems in a vehicle, or even in the trajectory of a missile; automated defense systems in a building; programs that monitor user activity, perhaps on a company computer; autopilots on airplanes; or medical computers that administer medications or act automatically on a patient.
