Ethical Concerns: An overview of Artificial Intelligence System Development and Life Cycle

The expansive growth of Artificial Intelligent Systems (AIS),areas of applications, and their architectural complexity resulting in compound Systems of Systems has also carried with this, a myriad of ethical challenges. The ethical concerns are not limited to just the applications but also the data collection processes and derivative computed Information and Knowledge. A by product that has resulted is the extended marketing venues of data conversion to commodities. This paper examines how these issues effect ethics throughout the life cycle of the AIS and carries into the life cycle of the data.
