AI Ethics
What is AI Ethics?
The branch of applied ethics concerned with the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. Key questions include: how to build fair and unbiased systems, who bears responsibility when AI causes harm, how to balance automation with human dignity, and what limits should be placed on AI autonomy. Increasingly embedded in corporate governance, regulation, and professional codes of conduct.
Example in practice
An HR director reviewing whether their AI screening tool reinforces historical hiring biases — and commissioning an independent audit before further deployment — is applying AI ethics in a practical professional context.
