Case-Based Questions – NCERT Solutions AI Class 10 Unit 1: Revisiting AI Project Cycle & Ethical Frameworks for AI
1. Case Scenario:
In a corporate setting, a multinational company is facing scrutiny over its environmental practices, particularly regarding the disposal of industrial waste. The company has historically prioritized profit maximization and cost-cutting measures, leading to practices that result in environmental harm and negative impacts on local communities. As public awareness and concern about environmental sustainability grow, stakeholders, including investors, customers, and advocacy groups, are calling for the company to adopt more responsible and sustainable business practices.
Question:
Drawing from the case presented, analyze the ethical considerations surrounding the company’s environmental practices through the lens of value-based frameworks in ethics.
Ans.:
From a value-based ethics perspective, the company’s focus on profit over environmental protection is unethical because it violates core values like responsibility, fairness, and respect for communities. Ethical decision-making requires assessing the moral worth of actions, emphasizing sustainability and social responsibility. The company has a duty to adopt safe and responsible waste disposal practices and consider the welfare of all stakeholders. Aligning business practices with these fundamental values promotes long-term trust and ethical legitimacy.
2. Case Scenario:
In a rural farming community, a group of small-scale farmers is faced with a dilemma regarding the use of pesticides on their crops. The farmers have traditionally relied on chemical pesticides to control pests and maximize crop yields. However, concerns have been raised about the potential environmental and health impacts of pesticide use, including soil contamination, water pollution, and adverse effects on human health. Additionally, neighboring communities and environmental advocacy groups have expressed opposition to the widespread use of pesticides, citing ecological damage and risks to biodiversity.
Question:
Using the case provided, examine the ethical considerations surrounding pesticide use in the agricultural sector, applying ethical frameworks to analyze the competing interests and values at stake.
Ans.:
From an ethical perspective, the use of pesticides involves balancing farmers’ economic needs with responsibilities toward health and the environment. Value-based ethics emphasizes care, sustainability, and protection of ecosystems. Consequentialist thinking weighs the benefits of higher yields against harms to soil, water, biodiversity, and human health. Duty-based ethics stresses the farmers’ moral obligation to avoid causing harm to others and the environment. Ethically, adopting safer alternatives or sustainable practices ensures both livelihoods and ecological responsibility.
