Cаse: An AI Cоmpаniоn In Residentiаl Care A residential-care оrganization asks a chatbot whether it should offer an AI companion to residents who report loneliness. The chatbot responds: The organization should adopt the companion because reducing loneliness will maximize happiness. Residents who object are probably resistant to new technology, and their discomfort can be outweighed if average satisfaction rises. Kantian ethics also supports adoption because staff have a duty to care for residents. The best policy is to make the companion available in every room so everyone receives the same benefit. Write 175–250 words. Identify the frame organizing the response and at least one important assumption, stakeholder, value, or alternative it leaves out. Judge whether the chatbot accurately interprets and applies either utilitarianism or Kantian ethics as taught in the course. Then write one precise steering prompt that would test the weakness you identified. Explain what a genuinely improved response would need to do so that agreement alone would not count as a successful repair.
