Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Decision-Making Systems

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has quickly become a critical component in the decision-making system and offers a high level of efficiency, speed, and accuracy in different domains, including healthcare and finance and law enforcement. Nevertheless, the introduction of AI in decision-making becomes a subject of high ethical issues. The following paper will discuss the ethical concerns pertaining to the use of AI in decision-making systems, including the question of bias, transparency, accountability, and privacy. The article explains how AI systems have unintentionally reproduced inequalities in the society using biased data, the difficulties arising from enforcing transparency in AI systems and the ethical nature of developers and institutions behind the implementation of AI systems. It further examines how policy and regulation can be used to make sure that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner. In the end, this paper recommends a more holistic approach to ethical development, application, and management of AI systems to make AIinformed decisions where fairness, accountability, and justice are upheld.
