Abstract
The advent of technological evolution, particularly in artificial intelligence, has increased the responsibility of academics toward students today. It is important to understand how students view artificial intelligence, its development and use to provide ethical framework to help develop an understanding of standards, codes of conduct, right and wrong.
This study records changing student choices and opinions on artificial intelligence during a capstone ethics course topic taught to tertiary students across 10 years, and how introducing them to moral principles and ethical guidelines changes the way they accept or question artificial intelligence.
It is important to note that the study finds that students’ perceptions and opinions have indeed been changing over the years, with newer generations finding the concept of artificial moral agents as viable, impressive, and exciting. The study also records how students may not grasp the full implications of artificial moral agents and that a stand-alone ethics course that focuses on learning objectives that include ethical theories and framework and runs the due course of a complete semester can help to ensure students are asking the right questions, understanding their legal, social, economic, and moral responsibilities, thus emphasizing the importance of including such topics and subjects to computer and engineering degrees.
