A city deploys Artificial Intelligence (AI) traffic cameras that issue automatic fines. Which question is most directly associated with Virtue Ethics?

Answer

Is the city acting responsibly and transparently?

Explanation

### Why this is right Virtue Ethics asks what a good decision-maker would do and whether conduct reflects qualities such as responsibility and honesty. The question about acting responsibly and transparently focuses on the city's character and conduct. ### The concept The same traffic-camera case can be examined through different frameworks. Social Contract Theory asks whether citizens could accept the rules and whether they are fair. Rights analysis asks whether privacy is affected and whether safety benefits are owed. Virtue Ethics considers whether city officials act with integrity and responsibility when designing and using the system. ### The other options - **B. Did citizens agree to the rules, and are the rules fair?** This is the social-contract lens because it examines shared rules and acceptance. - **C. Are privacy rights violated, and are safety benefits owed?** This is the rights lens because it concerns freedoms and entitlements. - **D. Does the system issue fines quickly?** Speed is a performance measure, not a direct question about character or virtue. ### Terms - **Virtue Ethics**: An ethical approach that evaluates decision-makers' character and conduct. - **Transparency**: Making relevant actions and practices clear to affected people. ### Remember Questions about honesty and responsibility point toward Virtue Ethics.
