Ethics in Artificial Intelligence: An Analysis of Ethical Issues and Possible Solutions

Abstract

Unprecedented advances in Artificial Intelligence and its widespread applications in diverse fields without a sufficient social, ethical, legal, or technological framework to oversee it have sparked concerns about its decisions having ethical and social implications. Identifying and addressing the ethical issues of artificial intelligence has been a topic of great importance to researchers, governments, law enforcement agencies, and corporations, given the growing concerns of individuals, organizations, countries, and society. However, very little progress has been made to address them. These ethical and social issues, such as privacy breaches, bias, discrimination, non-accountability, less transparency, unemployment, promoting inequality, social manipulation, loss of human relationships, and independence, inevitably impact the existing social order and raise ethical concerns. This paper provides an overview and analysis of ethical issues, strategies for dealing with them, and techniques for assessing the ethics associated with artificial intelligence. Additionally, the study underscores the increasing ethical and social ramifications arising from the expanding use of technology in various domains. It also highlights insufficient technical solutions and a fitting framework to tackle these concerns. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes the necessity for thorough research to identify suitable technological solutions to address these ethical challenges.
