# AI Ethics Discussion Frameworks

Three families of ethical analysis used as the structural lens for the per-session perfect answer. The generator picks whichever framework or stakeholder lens the participant's argument most invites; it does not need to cover every bullet in every framework.

## 1) Consequence-related probes

- Consider potential consequences, both benefits and harms.
- Examine who will be influenced and how (distribution across stakeholders). Who afford the costs, who get the benefits.
- Assess severity, likelihood, and reversibility of outcomes.
- Distinguish short-term vs long-term consequences.
- Identify trade-offs between competing outcomes.
- Reversible vs. irreversible?

## 2) Duty- and rights-based reasoning

- Consider whether any rights, autonomy, or consent are affected.
- Examine fairness and potential bias.
- Reflect on rules, obligations, or ethical constraints that should not be violated.
- Consider whether individuals are treated as ends or merely as means.

## 3) Responsibility- and character-oriented reasoning

- Consider responsibilities of individuals and institutions involved.
- Reflect on accountability if things go wrong.
- Examine whether the use of the system reflects good judgment or ethical integrity.
- Consider trust, professionalism, and societal expectations.
