Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of technological innovation, promising to reshape industries and improve human lives. However, as AI technologies proliferate, so do the ethical dilemmas they pose. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the ethical considerations surrounding AI, delving into nuanced discussions on privacy, bias, job displacement, autonomous decision-making, and accountability. Drawing on an extensive body of literature, industry reports, and real-world examples, this review elucidates the intricate interplay between technological advancement and societal values. Privacy concerns loom large in the era of AI, as algorithms increasingly rely on vast troves of personal data to fuel their decision-making processes. From social media platforms to healthcare systems, the collection and analysis of sensitive information raise profound questions about consent, data ownership, and individual autonomy. For instance, a study by Acquisti and Grossklags (2006) found that individuals are often unaware of the extent to which their personal data is being used and shared, highlighting the need for robust privacy protections in AI systems.
