**Week 5 Assignment: Legal & Ethical Issues of AI in Business**
**PROMPT:**
In your learning materials, you have read about legal issues and ethical concerns relating to the use of various types of AI in business. Research current AI news for an item
**_published no earlier than the past year_** that reports and illustrates a current—or forecasts a future—example of an ethical or legal issue pertaining to the use or function of AI in business. This could be an event that has occurred, a case in litigation, legislation (passed or pending), or regulation (passed or pending), or another issue.
This must be an
**explanatory article that includes objective analysis,** not simply a "news blurb" or a slanted opinion piece. This will be
your "
**keynote** **article"** for this Assignment.
Using your
**keynote article** as the basis for your topic of this Assignment, complete all of the following:
**Research and writing – APA7 Paper**
**Research and evaluate** the legal and/or ethical issue identified in your selected keynote article, including
**other or related examples** illustrating the issue with the use of AI.
When you have gathered your research and studied the issue, write an APA Style 7th Edition paper that does the following:
1. Summarizes the specific event or problem reported in the keynote article, including the type of AI involved, its subfield, its use, the specific company involved (if there is one) and/or stakeholders affected
2. Identifies the legal or ethical issue with the use of this specific AI
3. Includes descriptive examples of the issue in the application of the AI
4. Explains the risk to business posed by the issue
5. Identifies who was (is), or could be, harmed
6. Recommends whether the issue can be prevented or mitigated, and how; or whether the AI application should be used at all because of the issue
**Instructions**
1. Prepare APA 7 paper —
**1,000 to 1,200 words** (
_excluding_ title and references list) — NO ABSTRACT.
2. APA 7th Ed. Style. See
[APA Help submodule [content page].](https://myclassroom.apus.edu/d2l/le/lessons/26414/lessons/13439512)
3.
**Follow Paper Guide template attached to this Assignment.**
4. Use appropriate subheadings.
5. Reference
**five (5) credible* sources, one (1) of which is your keynote article.**
6. All sources on the References list must be cited appropriately in the paper's text.
7. See
**Grading Rubric**.

PERSPECTIVES FROM THE WEARABLE ELECTRONICS AND APPLICATIONS RESEARCH (WEAR) LAB, NASA
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER
Haifa R. Moses, MS
Habitability and Human Factors Branch,
Houston, TX
As NASA moves beyond exploring low earth orbit and into deep space exploration, increased
communication delays between astronauts and earth drive a need for crew to become more
autonomous (earth-independent). Currently crew on board the International Space Station (ISS) have
limited insight into specific vehicle system performance because of the dependency on monitoring and
real-time communication with Mission Control. Wearable technology provides a method to bridge the
gap between the human (astronaut) and the system (spacecraft) by providing mutual monitoring
between the two. For example, vehicle or environmental information can be delivered to astronauts
through on–body devices and in return wearables provide data to the spacecraft regarding crew health,
location, etc.
The Wearable Electronics and Applications Research (WEAR) Lab at the NASA Johnson Space Center
utilizes a collaborative approach between engineering and human factors to investigate the use of
wearables for spaceflight. Zero and partial gravity environments present unique challenges to wearables
that require collaborative, user-centered, and iterative approaches to the problems. Examples of the
WEAR Lab’s recent wearable projects for spaceflight will be discussed.

• Increased crew autonomy during long-duration (earth-independent)

• The Wearable Electronics and Applications Research (WEAR) Lab at

Environmental Monitoring Gap
• Numerous commercial (COTS) wearable devices meet NASA’s need for
human and environmental monitoring
• In zero gravity environments gasses behave differently than on Earth
• Lack of natural convection limits air circulation and mixing potentially leading to
“pockets” of hazardous gasses
• COTS wearables target gasses that pose hazards on earth (ex. carbon
monoxide) leaving a monitoring gap for gasses whose hazards are
mitigated with the help of gravity (ex. carbon dioxide)
haifa.r.moses@nasa.gov 4
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in Space
• Exposure to elevated CO2 levels causes health
problems
• Increased blood pressure, dizziness, vision impairment,
decreased decision-making capabilities, headaches, etc.
• Monitoring CO2 in spacecraft is difficult
• CO2 readings from fixed sensors may not be representative
of locations near the crew
• Group activities (e.g. meals, public events) are of particular
concern because of potential creations of “CO2 Pockets”
