ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS

AI systems have the potential to address ethical issues. Case-based re asoning systems may be the most promising approach to environmental et hics. Power issues, considered in applied ethics, are a fundamental fe ature of issues arising from landscape-level management, and may be st udied using stakeholder modeling techniques, while rule-based systems may be appropriate for deontological ethical issues (based on duties o r obligations). Semantic networks may be used to study and summarize t he views of individuals in groups. Conflict between individual advanta ge and the common good can be explored through Game Theory.
