Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: Impact on Society

Abstract

We can define artificial intelligence systems as systems that serve the basic roles of society today, benefit us in many application areas, and can make autonomous decisions in the coming years, perhaps without the need for humans. In order for artificial intelligence systems to work with more and more autonomy, that is, with less human control, ethical structures must first be established. Ethical AI is AI that adheres to well-defined ethical guidelines regarding core values such as individual rights, privacy, equality and non-prejudice. Artificial intelligence ethical practices will help organizations operate more efficiently, produce cleaner products, reduce harmful environmental impacts, increase public safety and improve human health. Unethical artificial intelligence applications may cause serious harmful effects for society. The most important solution to responsibly manage these negative effects and direct artificial intelligence systems for the benefit of society is the development of ethical artificial intelligence systems. In recent years, studies on the ethics of artificial intelligence by academia, industry, government and civil society have begun to provide a basis. In this study, the ethics of artificial intelligence and its impact on society, labor market, inequality, privacy and prejudice are discussed, possible risks and threats are pointed out, and suggestions are made for solutions.
