ethical implications of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) raises ethical concerns such as bias, privacy, and accountability. AI systems can unintentionally incorporate human prejudices, leading to unfair treatment or discrimination. They also process vast amounts of personal data, raising privacy issues. Additionally, decisions made by AI—like loans or job screenings—may lack transparency, making it hard to determine responsibility when errors occur. Ensuring AI is fair, transparent, and respects individuals’ rights is essential to prevent harm, promote trust, and ensure these technologies benefit society without compromising moral standards.
