Ethical Dilemmas in AI

This worksheet presents two real-world-inspired scenarios where AI makes decisions that could unfairly affect people’s lives. Students act as “Ethics Engineers” and answer reflection questions about fairness, potential biases, and how AI systems could be redesigned to be more just. They explain their reasoning clearly, applying ethical principles to AI-driven sentencing predictions and hiring decisions. This task deepens students’ understanding of how ethical considerations intersect with technology.
