The increasing prevalence of AI in all facets of human lives raises profound questions of ethics, policy, and law. Interactions with AI in situations that traditionally involve humans demonstrate the growing sophistication and adaptivity of the technology. For this very reason, we may demand some basic rules of engagement from these interactions-AI should not deceive humans into believing it is human or that it has human-like capacities and should be transparent about its artificial status. Law increasingly makes these demands. We may further question as a matter of practical ethics, if not law, whether even "well-trained" AI should be used at all in intimate or personal interactions with humans. This essay seeks to explore these issues by reference to a series of examples in which AI seeks to mimic or interpret humans: AI influencers on social media, AI companions, AI mental health therapy chatbots, and AI emotion detection tools.
人工智能在人类生活各个方面的日益普及引发了深刻的伦理、政策和法律问题。在传统上涉及人类的情境中与人工智能的互动展示了该技术日益复杂的程度和适应性。正因如此，我们可能会从这些互动中要求一些基本的参与规则——人工智能不应欺骗人类，使其相信它是人类或具有类人能力，并且应该对其人工身份保持透明。法律越来越多地提出了这些要求。作为一个实际伦理问题，如果不是法律问题的话，我们可能会进一步质疑，即使是“训练有素”的人工智能是否根本就应该用于与人类的亲密或个人互动中。本文旨在通过参考一系列人工智能试图模仿或解读人类的例子来探讨这些问题：社交媒体上的人工智能影响者、人工智能伴侣、人工智能心理健康治疗聊天机器人以及人工智能情感检测工具。
