- A) Neural Networks are often used for predictions and/categorizing things. What ethical issues might arise from the use of neural networks when used for decision making in games?
The use of neural networks for decision making in games can lead to the game being quite unfair or one-sided, depending on how the decision making affects the player. For example, if neural networks are used for the programming of an ai boss that can dodge and block attacks, the experience for the player will be unfair. The reason for this is that the boss will have an advantage over reaction time to the player’s attacks, as the neural network will predict and calculate different possibilities of player’s next decision. Another issue the implementation of neural networks in AI has is that the AI could not follow its purpose. If the neural network is programmed to survive and attack the player, the neural network could decide to continuously dodge the player or move away. Neural networks can also make mistakes if it has not gone through cycles of the particular tasks it has been programmed for as it would not fully understand how to achieve its set goal this can also annoy the neural network and cause it to react strangely.
