EthicaPlay: AI assistant for ethical dilemmas | Kristýna Seidlerová

This individual project focuses on creating an AI assistant that helps users navigate ethical dilemmas through interactive simulations. Originally conceived as a comprehensive simulator of ethical scenarios, the project has evolved into a more practical form—the EthicaPlay AI assistant, which offers an objective view of ethical situations without pressuring users to choose the "right" solution.

The assistant works by having the user describe an ethical situation, and the AI offers at least two different ethical perspectives with explanations of the arguments for each. The key principle is not to present the "right" answer, but to encourage reflection through questions and different perspectives. The project emphasizes preventing the creation of "ethical bubbles" and promotes critical thinking.

Ethics: Analysis using Tarot Cards of Tech and Ethical Canvas identified risks of excluding certain user groups, cultural bias, loss of trust in biased responses, and manipulative potential. The solution is transparent communication, cultural diversity, and robust data protection.
