Ethical analysis reveals an epistemic mismatch from episodic disclosures in human-AI interaction, highlighting a moral right to continuous status awareness.
Key Points
To establish whether user reliance on dynamically changing AI systems creates a moral right to continuous, real-time awareness of system status.
Conducted a normative ethical analysis of AI transparency mechanisms grounded in autonomy and informed consent principles.
Examined the epistemic mismatch between static, episodic disclosure notices and continuously shifting or compromised algorithmic models.
Episodic disclosure fails to protect user autonomy because an AI model can drift, evolve, or suffer compromise immediately after notice is issued.
Users hold a moral right to continuous status awareness that cannot be satisfied by repeated episodic notices.
The status signal providing continuous awareness must be certified by an independent external entity rather than the AI system itself.
