AI ethics
AI ethics is the study of how AI should be designed and used so it is fair, safe, transparent and respects people’s rights.
Also called ethical AI, ethics in AI
In more detail
It covers questions like: is the system biased? Who is responsible when it causes harm? Is people’s data protected? Can its decisions be explained? How does it affect jobs and the environment?
Organisations turn these principles into practice through responsible AI policies, and governments through AI regulation.
