Section 2: Applied Ethics Case Analysis Choose Case A or Case B. Write in multiple connected paragraphs and aim for 500–700 words. State which case you selected. No formal citations are required. Case A: AI Advising At A Community College A community college is piloting an AI advising system. The system uses grades, attendance, learning-management-system activity, and program history to predict which students may withdraw. Advisors receive a risk score and a recommended action, such as contacting the student, discussing a lighter course load, or exploring a different program. The system cannot change a student’s enrollment on its own. Students do not see how the score was produced. Some students receive useful support earlier than they otherwise would. Advisors also report that the score can misread students who work irregular hours, share devices, or complete coursework close to deadlines. College leaders must decide whether to expand the system, revise it, or stop using it. Case B: AI Companions In Assisted Living An assisted-living organization is piloting AI companion tablets. The system can hold conversations, remember residents’ preferences, provide reminders, and alert staff when a conversation contains language associated with serious distress. Some residents report feeling less isolated, and staff value the reminders. The system can also encourage emotionally intimate conversation, store sensitive personal information, and give responses that sound caring even though no person is present. Residents were told that conversations would be stored to operate the service, but they were not asked whether de-identified conversations could be reused to improve later versions. The vendor now asks the organization to authorize that additional use. Administrators must decide whether to expand, revise, or stop the program and whether residents must opt in before their conversations are reused. Use An Argument From Principle Use the argument strategies from Testing Moral Arguments. This course normally uses an Argument from Principle for a practical ethical judgment. Include a compact labeled argument inside your response: P1: state the moral standard or principle that supports your judgment. P2: state the case fact or facts that make the standard relevant. P3, when needed: make the bridge visible by explaining why those facts count under the moral standard. C: state the specific action or policy your premises support. The labeled lines map the reasoning. The connected paragraphs develop and defend it by explaining why each premise should be accepted, how the premises support the conclusion, and which facts or interpretations remain uncertain. What Your Response Must Demonstrate Identify the central moral conflict, the relevant decision-maker, and the facts and stakeholders that are most important to your judgment. Apply one foundational framework from the course: Divine Command Theory, natural law, Aristotelian virtue ethics, Kantian deontology, or rule/two-level utilitarianism. Explain its key concepts accurately and show how the framework changes what you notice, value, or recommend in the case. After explaining your argument, present the strongest competing position or objection. Identify whether it challenges a premise, the connection between the premises and conclusion, the scope of the conclusion, or a likely consequence of your recommendation. Give the objection a fair reason. Respond by defending, revising, narrowing, or partially conceding your original argument, then state your final recommendation. Include at least one concrete condition, limit, safeguard, exception, or threshold. Your answer should read as a sustained case analysis. Do not submit disconnected answers to the required moves or merely name philosophical concepts.

Choose One Personal AI Dilemma Write one essay of 500–1,000 words. You may write more than 1,000 words without penalty when the additional writing remains focused. A response below 500 words does not meet the basic length requirement. Use at least two of these ethical frameworks: Divine Command Theory, natural law, Aristotelian virtue ethics, Kantian deontology, and utilitarianism. Divine Command Theory and natural law count as two frameworks only when you explain and apply each one separately. No formal citations are required. Dilemma A: AI Relationship Advice Before A Major Decision Maya and Eli have been dating for eighteen months and have recently begun talking about living together. Maya has now been accepted into a two-year nursing program about two hours away. She has forty-eight hours to accept the place. Eli wants them to make the decision together because a former partner once made a major move without telling him. Their recent conversations about time, money, and the future have become tense. Maya is considering uploading excerpts from their text messages to a chatbot and asking whether the relationship is healthy, whether Eli is being controlling, and whether she should accept the program or end the relationship. Some messages include Eli’s private comments about anxiety and family problems. Maya’s friend says a chatbot may be more impartial than either of them. Maya also knows that the chatbot would see only the messages she selects, would not hear tone or know their full history, and might confidently reinforce the way she frames the problem. Eli does not know that Maya is considering sharing the messages. What should Maya do, and how should she decide what role, if any, the chatbot should play? Dilemma B: An AI Recommendation About Withdrawing From A Course Marisol is a first-year student who hopes to apply to a competitive nursing program. She is deciding whether to withdraw from statistics before the deadline. An AI advising tool uses her attendance, grades, prior courses, and records from earlier students to estimate that she has a 38 percent chance of passing. It recommends withdrawing. A withdrawal would protect her GPA, but it could delay her nursing application by a semester and may change her financial-aid eligibility. The prediction does not include two recent changes. Marisol has arranged reliable childcare, and her last two quiz scores improved. Her instructor says she can still pass if she completes the missing work and attends tutoring. Her father thinks she should trust the system because it has more data than any one person. Her study partner wants Marisol to remain because they prepare together, but the partner also admits that this should not decide Marisol’s future. A human advising appointment is not available until after the withdrawal deadline. What should Marisol do, and how should she and the other people involved decide what weight to give the AI recommendation? How To Structure Your Essay Write a short essay in connected paragraphs. Begin with two or three sentences that answer the question and state what you think should happen. Then make one main argument visible in a compact form: Premise 1:Premise 2:Bridge premise, if needed:Conclusion: Most students will use the course’s usual Argument from Principle: one premise states a moral standard, another states the relevant case facts, an optional bridge premise connects that standard to those facts, and the conclusion states what someone should do. You may use another valid premise-and-conclusion form when it represents your reasoning more accurately. Use the body paragraphs to explain and defend the argument. Tell the reader what each important premise means, why someone should accept it, how it applies to specific details in the dilemma, and why the premises support the conclusion. The compact argument is part of the essay; it does not replace the paragraph explanation. What Your Essay Must Demonstrate Explain and use relevant key concepts from at least two ethical frameworks accurately and in your own words. Naming a framework or attaching its name to a conclusion is not enough. Show how each framework supports, complicates, or challenges your reasoning about the people, choices, risks, and other morally significant details in the case. Present a serious competing position or objection. Aim it at a premise, the connection between premises, or the conclusion. Give it its strongest reasonable form. Then explain whether you will defend your original argument, revise one of its premises, narrow the conclusion, or partly concede the objection. You do not need a broad introduction, a separate summary of every framework, or a long conclusion. Your reader should be able to identify your judgment, your compact argument, the paragraphs that defend it, and what changed or survived after the objection.
