Station 4
Helping and Bothering
Wanda's statement
"…" AI helps some people - and sometimes hurts others.
AI can help an uncle write letters when he is tired. It can show an athlete how to throw better. But: AI has also meant employees losing their jobs because of it. Why? A boss thought: "The AI does it faster and cheaper." So sometimes AI helps those who already have a lot. And puts at a disadvantage those who have little. That is unfair - and that is why it matters to know.
Important!
- AI often helps - but not everyone equally.
- Who benefits? Who suffers? Always ask!
- Fairness is a human thing.
