AI Ethics
The field concerned with the moral implications and responsibilities associated with the development and deployment of AI technologies.
Definition
The multidisciplinary study and application of moral principles—fairness, privacy, autonomy, beneficence—in AI design and use, often embodied in ethics boards, impact assessments, and public commitments.
Real-World Example
Before deploying emotion-analysis in ads, a social-media company’s ethics committee conducts stakeholder interviews, drafts a public “Ethics Impact Statement,” and pauses development when privacy advocates raise unresolved concerns.
