Unraveling the Ethical Conundrum of Artificial Intelligence: A Synthesis of Literature and Case Studies

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving technology that is transforming various aspects of modern society. Despite its immense potential for positive impact, the development and deployment of AI also raises a range of ethical considerations. This paper presents a literature review and case study analysis of the ethics of AI, with a particular focus on exploring areas where research is still lacking. Our analysis reveals that while there is a growing body of literature on AI ethics, there are also several areas that remain underexplored. Through a detailed analysis of case studies from diverse sectors, we illustrate the practical implications of ethical dilemmas surrounding AI. Specifically, this paper examines issues related to fairness, transparency, accountability, and bias in AI. The paper reviews the existing literature on AI ethics and uses case studies to illustrate the challenges and opportunities presented by AI. Our paper underscores the urgent need for further research and attention to these issues to ensure that the development and use of AI align with ethical principles and values. We conclude by suggesting a research agenda for future work on the ethics of AI.
